  • Handle: an X account. The accounts you track are your tracked handles.
  • Watchlist: the set of handles you are currently tracking, managed in Settings.
  • Timeline: your main feed, ranked and filterable. See Timeline.
  • Scope: whose posts fill the timeline: your watchlist, everyone on MBER, or peers.
  • Signal: the posts worth your attention, regardless of account size.
  • Score: a per-post rating of signal; higher is stronger. See the Scoring engine.
  • Stat bars (ENG, VRL, QUAL): engagement, virality, and quality on a post card, each 0 to 10 relative to your current view.
  • Category: a topic in MBER's niche taxonomy used to filter your timeline. See Categorization.
  • Story: posts from different accounts about the same event, consolidated into one headline and summary. See Stories.
  • Scrape: a pass that collects recent posts for your tracked handles. See the Scraping engine.
  • Status indicator: a small bar that shows how up to date a handle's data is.
  • Pin group: a named bucket for the posts and ideas you save from the timeline.
