 * Events view:This features allows users to explore the different events detected by the platform’s technology within a specific area.
 * Hashtag feature: The feature allows you to search for content by hashtag, outside of the map view. Though the hashtag search can be done with no location restrictions, users can filter by location.
 * Albums:This feature allows users to collect all relevant content, related to specific topic of location, into one space called an album. Social content must exist within the album space in order to move forward with the produce and publish phase.
 * Draw and save:This feature works best for users who are monitoring planned events like marches, demonstrations, parades and sports coverage. By creating a geofence around a specific location, the platform will monitor and collect social content from that space related to the event (based on criteria for the content established by the user).
 * Produce and publish:This features makes storytelling with social content possible and allows users to package the album and its contents for the web or for a broadcast audience. Templates can be used to edit the look and feel of the published product.
