Tried adding a monitor for a trend with two words, got lots of matches for just one of the words that is generic. Tried then again but putting the two words in quotes, expecting it'll match the entire query instead of each one of them individually, but then encountered bug that quotes turn into %22 and trend report has no data. Otherwise, looks like a useful service! Thanks for sharing

Hello there, Yes, we both find rising trends but we differ in so many ways. First and foremost, we give our users the ability to monitor a keyword/topic over time. As a user, you can receive daily, weekly and monthly email alerts. Secondly, you can search a keyword/topic in any country and what you search stays private to you so that you can build your own private library of trends. Thirdly, each trend has so many re…
Thanks for explaining. So Exploding topics as a Service and with additional features to make it a business. Can be interesting depending on how accurate your trend spotting are and how well the prediction beta feature works. Keeping track of new technology trends and competitors offerings is a healthy amount of work in any business. If a service could already take out the initial search part that could be value.

Exploding Topics has a one huge advantage. They don't require account to search and test. Maybe leave basic features for everyone to use without account?
You do require an account to search because I'd like to understand who is searching and protect me a little bit better against bots. Also, searching has a much higher computing cost for me under the hood.
Hope it explains why I did it this way. Thanks for the comment!
Whose is your target customer? Ie what are their job titles and what are their jobs? How would your tool fit into their workflow?
I've identified a lot of real customer profiles (as I call them) that can use the product and receive value.
Some of those are: e-commerces, marketers, affiliates, investors, SEO experts. If you are curious, you can read more about each of them on the homepage, in the "use cases" section.
I don't know which one of these customer profiles will benefit the most at this point. It's too soon, but time will tell.
Thank you for the comment!
I don’t see Canada on the list which makes me sad eh.
Sorry about that, I'm manually adding them one by one after I test them.
Thanks for the comment!
I know trennd could be the inspiration, but what is different ?
Secondly, you can search a keyword/topic in any country and what you search stays private to you so that you can build your own private library of trends.
Thirdly, each trend has so many related topics that we find by querying Google, Amazon, YouTube, etc that you can dive into.
And finally, we have a beta feature where the tool forecasts how a trend will likely perform in the next 6 months.
Btw, I'm pretty sure that I originally launched this tool before them. I'm just revamping it now =)
I searched for "学校" (Japanese: gakkou, school) in Japan and the results page was headed with "%E5%AD%A6%E6%A0%A1".
Additionally, the actual results weren't great; it found a 2014 movie and a handful of Amazon/Youtube searches that aren't accurate. Some of the Youtube search results weren't even Japanese, but Chinese.
Just in case I'd weirdly picked a bad word (dubious since school closings etc. are all over the news), I also tried パンくん (Japanese: pan-kun, the name of a chimpanzee who was famous for being with Shimura Ken, a recently deceased comedian), which is currently trending on Twitter.
I didn't get any trend information at all.
