Reimagining Political Listening in Bangladesh: Why SharedToday Is the Missing Link

In an age where narratives form and fade faster than press releases, political actors in Bangladesh face a vital question:

Are we listening deeply enough to what people are really saying?

Too often, digital tools offer noise instead of nuance. That’s where SharedToday comes in.

The Blind Spots of Global Sentiment Tools

There’s no shortage of social listening platforms — but most were never built with Bangladesh in mind.

 

Global tools like Talkwalker, Meltwater, and others cater to multinational brands and corporate PR teams. Their dashboards are wide in scope but shallow in local understanding. They often:

 

  • Miss subtleties in Bengali language and cultural context
  • Require admin access to analyze data
  • Struggle to identify meaningful signals within politically driven discourse
  • Prioritize corporate metrics over civic narratives

 

This leaves political parties, researchers, and journalists relying on tools that weren’t designed for the decisions they need to make.

SharedToday: Built for Bangladesh

SharedToday isn’t a repackaged Western dashboard — it’s a ground-up rethinking of political and social sentiment analysis in South Asia.

 

We track and analyze public posts, comments, and reactions from Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and beyond — without needing access to private pages or accounts. Our focus is narrow but deep: what are real people discussing, feeling, and rallying around?

 

Our platform surfaces:

  • The top issues shaping political opinion — from price hikes to migration
  • What’s gaining momentum in public groups, not just official party pages
  • Sentiment shifts within core supporter communities
  • Influencer dynamics and share of voice analysis
  • Narrative gaps — where public perception is misaligned with party messaging

 

It’s all presented in an easy-to-navigate dashboard, supplemented by narrative reports that transform metrics into strategy.

Why This Approach Works

We focus only on public discourse within verified, high-frequency supporter groups and pages. This means:

  • No guesswork — All insights are grounded in authentic, organic activity
  • No intrusion — We never ask for page access or admin permissions
  • No distortion — We avoid bot-driven virality and keep the scope to core audience spaces

 

This model produces cleaner, bias-resistant insights — a sharper compass for political strategy.

Who It’s For

SharedToday was built for decision-makers who need real-time clarity in a high-noise environment:

  • Political leaders and campaign teams: Track public pulse, test messaging, benchmark rivals
  • Researchers and think tanks: Access structured, contextual data for deeper policy analysis
  • Media organizations: Monitor trends, sentiments, and issue-driven public debates
  • Civil society and advocacy groups: Understand what concerns citizens beyond official narratives

 

Whether preparing for an election or shaping long-term positioning, SharedToday bridges the gap between digital signals and real-world strategy.

The Bottom Line

In Bangladesh, public opinion doesn’t form in silence — it unfolds online, every hour, in every comment thread, meme, or video reaction.

SharedToday helps you make sense of that noise. Not by shouting louder — but by listening smarter.
