🌐Major update! Expanded Government Social Media Tracking
This release represents one of STRisker’s largest expansions to government social media monitoring to date. Over the past several updates, we’ve significantly broadened both the platforms we track and the depth of data available from official government sources.
Social posts from confirmed local government accounts are now labeled with a “Government Account” tag across Twitter, Instagram, and Tiktok posts. This makes it easier to identify and prioritize on signals as they arise.
📚 New Sources Page
Another big expansion! We've now added a brand-new Sources page with multiple source types including: Officials, Offices, Government Socials, Documents, Portals, Podcasts, and Industry Resources. This gives you a reference into where monitored content might be coming from and how it's categorized, and even help find sources of your own!
🎥 TikTok Signals Are Now Live
TikTok has been added as a new Signals data source! This app has been an up and coming platform over the recent years and now, we're officially adding it into our roster.
Features include an embedded video playback, post text, engagement statistics, and location information, along with filters for location, stats, and published date.
This brings even more government and policy-related activity into your Signals workflow.
📸 Upgraded Instagram Signals
Aside from Tiktok, Instagram also received some upgrades! You can now see likes and comment counts, search across captions, and filter posts by engagement levels and dates.
In addition, Instagram Signals now support location-based filtering by country, state or province, county, and place, narrowing down signals to where it matters most to you!
🎙 Deeper Podcast Intelligence
Meanwhile, Podcast episodes are now searchable across titles, descriptions, and transcripts, with locations automatically identified when mentioned.
Additionally, Podcast profiles now include audience size, reach score, reviews from iTunes and Spotify, associated social accounts, RSS feeds, and descriptions.
P.S. We've also made some player and mobile interface updates to improve readability and navigation across devices. 📱
📅 Smarter, More Actionable Calendar Data
We're also continuing to iterate on our Calendar feature and have rolled out new updates that make it easier to track live and recorded government meetings.
A new Live filter highlights meetings starting within the last or next 15 minutes, while government officials are now added to meetings where available, including contact details. Meetings also display associated YouTube channels when available, and recordings are now included in Location resource guide calendars.
🚀 Faster, More Reliable Performance
And last but definitely not the least...
In addition to new features, we’ve shipped reliability and performance improvements across Signals, Calendar, and other workflows. We’ve also continued expanding geographic coverage with 100+ new locations added across recent updates! (That's a lot of new locations to check out!)
