Glimpse - Discover exploding trends before they take off

byβ€’

Glimpse is a monthly newsletter that surfaces rapidly growing trends: companies, products, industries, and styles.

The trends are identified by tracking nearly every word and phrase across search, media, shopping, and social websites, then surfacing those that show rapid growth.

I use the industries info and its nuts how much this has helped our marketing teams, product dev teams as well as PR. The trends guide our decisions in narrowing down where to focus our funds/ efforts

Pros:

some of the smartest most amazing insights. the surfaced trends are pretty neat- one of the better newsletters in a long time.

Cons:

Would love daily insights. Also would be cool if it was a tool instead of a newsletter

Stuart Campbell
Yes! I assumed it was a tool, at first glance.

Hi Hunters! We first built Glimpse to get a better sense of where to start new ventures and where to make new investments. It’s since evolved into a monthly newsletter for entrepreneurs, investors, growth marketers, and generally interested people, to discover exploding trends before they take off. We consume as much data as possible - all the words and phrases being used above a certain frequency threshold across major sites that represent the largest categories of activity - social, shopping, search, media, entertainment, etc. We then surface the trends that show rapid growth, rapid decline, or other interesting features. Have questions? Ping me! noah@meetglimpse.com

@sheron_lowe I've always had issues with this, we've tried cancelling the monthly subscription but our credit card is still being charged. No response from their customer support email.

Noah has been working on this for a while now πŸ™ Glimpse provides a lot of interesting insight, even identifying micro-trends as they are taking off. I'm really looking forward to see where this goes!

Sadly it's not letting me purchase the subscription. Is anyone else having errors?
Eric Neal
Clean concept. Could you give more detail on the data being used to map these trends?
Noah Fram-Schwartz
@eric_neal Hey Eric! We look at a number of the major sites across a few core categories - search, social, shopping, media, and entertainment. As far as the data, it's a combination of text and relevant factors that would affect that text. For example, the number of views a video has would give a certain weight to the words in the title and, to a lesser extent, the words/phrases in the comment section. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Eric Neal
@noah_fram_schwartz Thanks Noah, I look forward to seeing the trends develop πŸ‘
