Exploding Topics

Exploding Topics scans the web, news, patents, forums and ecommerce listings to detect subjects whose mention volume is accelerating. The platform’s algorithm scores momentum, seasonality and longevity, then surfaces the 30-day, 6-month and 2-year “explosions” in a clean dashboard. Users can filter by category (AI, beauty, SaaS, pet tech, etc.), by status (“Regular” vs. “Peaked”) and by time-window, then dive into meta-data: search-volume graphs, Amazon listings, Reddit threads, funding rounds and related trending terms. A “Projects” folder lets teams save, annotate and share lists; email alerts notify members when a tracked topic jumps a customizable threshold. Paid tiers unlock the full historical index, CSV exports, API access and white-label reports, while the free view gives the top 10 explosions per category. The underlying data set is refreshed daily, so marketers, investors and product managers can spot surging keywords, emerging competitors or nascent consumer needs weeks before they appear in traditional trend reports.
