User Guide

BlogTracker helps you track blogs and online content and automatically analyze them. It surfaces clusters, narratives, and sentiment so you can focus on understanding - not collecting.

• Track blogs and content sources over time
• Automatically analyze topics, narratives, and sentiment
• Group similar posts together
• Save important findings as reports

A tracker is where everything starts. Think of it as a folder that watches blogs for you. You can create a tracker either from the Dashboard or directly from the Explore page.

1. 1

   Option 1: Create from Dashboard

   Go to your Dashboard and click 'Create Tracker'. Give it a meaningful name, then add blog URLs or sources you want to monitor.

2. 2

   Option 2: Create from Explore Page

   Browse blogs or posts in the Explore page. Enable Selection Mode, choose blogs or posts, then click 'Add to Tracker' at the bottom. You can select an existing tracker or create a new one instantly.

3. 3

   Name Your Tracker Clearly

   Use specific names like 'AI Security Monitoring' or 'Crypto Market Watch' so you can quickly understand its purpose later.

4. 4

   Save and Let It Run

   Once saved, BlogTracker automatically collects and analyzes content in the background.

After creating a tracker, BlogTracker begins analyzing content in the background. You don't need to stay on the page - check back when it's done.

• Blog posts are collected automatically
• Similar posts are grouped into clusters
• Topics, narratives, and sentiment are detected

When analysis is complete, open your tracker. Inside, you'll find several views to help you understand what's being discussed and how it's evolving.

1. 1

   Clusters

   Groups of posts that talk about similar topics - great for spotting emerging themes.

2. 2

   Narratives

   Main stories or angles found across all posts in your tracker.

3. 3

   Sentiment

   Shows whether content is positive, negative, or neutral, charted over time.
