Brand24 keeps adding listening surfaces, and Threads is the latest.
Brand24 has spent the past four months widening what it can hear: spoken mentions in YouTube and TikTok audio, AI-model visibility tracking, and now public Threads conversations. Alongside the new sources it has added precision tools such as Boolean Advanced Search and an Owned vs. Earned channel filter, which help users cut noise from a growing mention stream.
Saleshandy adds 7.7M people in October's Lead Finder refresh and reports on recent web flaws.
Saleshandy's recent releases center on Lead Finder: monthly data refreshes with published counts, ~8x faster contact reveals and CSV-based exclusion of contacts users already own. The October refresh added 7.7M people and updated 190M records, slightly below September's 8.08M and 249.8M. A separate post says the eMudhra key issue and the PHP and Node.js flaws did not affect accounts, and that services and servers were patched.

Alongside the new sources it has added precision tools such as Boolean Advanced Search and an Owned vs. Earned channel filter, which help users cut noise from a growing mention stream.
The pattern is coverage first, then filtering. Each new source (video transcripts, LLM answers, Threads) raises mention volume, and the follow-up releases help users narrow it. Combined with the agentic Brand Assistant and the ChatGPT app, Brand24 is moving toward being a queryable intelligence layer rather than a mention feed.
The cadence suggests another source or source-depth expansion within a month or two. Which network comes next is not clear from the entries.

Lead Finder is becoming the product's core, with data freshness reported like a metric and features aimed at saving reveal credits. The security post continues a habit of plain-language customer communication seen in the monthly data updates.
Expect a November data refresh with published counts and more Lead Finder filtering or credit-saving features. The entries don't show new work on sequences or the dialer.
