I made a tool to track internet trends all in one place. Splode.co Curious if agency people find this useful, or have suggestion on how to improve it!

I would def use this but leading with Twitter/X and having it the only platform you specifically mention makes me question the entire site.

Putting aside all the natzee and racist stuff (as if any normal person could) it’s a volatile platform where the algorithm is heavily manipulated. Both clients and creatives have asked whether we should even be on there

I think if you’re trying to cover the whole internet then you need to have it, but I would put IG, TT, and Reddit in front of it… both literally on your site and as more important/sound platforms that inform what’s trending

Do add BlueSky and Mastodon, as well, as the first is very popular commercial and the other is an open-source network no one can hijack completely.

Very cool. Slick mobile interface. Will keep an eye on this.

This is simple and smart and I love the design. I would like to see across other social platforms, especially Threads and FB but as the other commentator said we have to think about how each platform leans. The other thing about social trends is they can be so niche and inside baseball to the day to day consumer (like video game hacks) so maybe you filter in a different way). I def like one page per platform and if you continue the list make sure it's labeled. Can you add podcast episodes top or streaming lists?). Reddit is huge and hard to distill conversations. Overall I LOVE it. I could see creatives, social, PR and many other uses. And there are services that are paid that do just this but not across all platforms or culture barometers. (Which could range from top books borrowed from libraries across the country to Yelp or a retailer's top sellers or pick an influential part of the world or trendsetting group). I would rather swipe through this every day vs many other news apps, newsletters etc. What would be useful to me and frankly all of us is to see trends that are cool to us or important to know about but also impactful to the people we are trying to reach. Also: Nextdoor! But I think the key is the simplicity and variety. And what if each day you picked one weird niche like a farm report or grocery store trade mag or government site like the old U.S. or local town headlines? It would get us out of our algorithms and open up our eyes to what people outside our demographic and industry are thinking about. So cool and good for you!
