X monitoring for the accounts you follow
Add the X accounts your desk or team follows. FirstTide streams their posts as they are published and files posts, reposts and quote posts about one event on one story, without losing the account that posted it first.
Why an X list is hard to follow by hand
Accounts on one beat post, repost and quote each other within minutes. The account that posted first is often the smallest, and by the time a story spreads, accounts with far bigger followings have reposted it in their own words.
FirstTide keeps the whole chain on one story, in the order it was posted, with a link to each post on X. You see which account had it first.

What FirstTide keeps from X
- Live stream.Each account you add is followed on a live stream around the clock, and every post is read as it is published.
- Reposts and quote posts.A repost or quote post joins the story with the original author and text kept, so a repost never hides who posted first.
- Replies.A reply stays linked to the post it answers.
- More than 130 languages.Posts stay in their own language, with an English headline on the story and a translation on request.
FirstTide reads Telegram channels and RSS feeds the same way, and their posts join the same stories.

We run FirstTide on a demo list of public X accounts and open a story with you. If it fits your work, a 30-day pilot follows on the accounts your team follows.
