X on Monday launched a “Radar” trend analysis tool that aims to offer subscribers real-time insights into emerging trends and conversations on the platform.

The tool, previously known as Insights, was initially targeted at Verified Organizations (businesses), allowing marketers to track topics and trends on the app. If subscribed, marketers could perform keyword analytics, visualize trend activity, and filter conversations in real time. In addition to tracking conversation volume over time, Radar can also track conversation velocity.
