And I think @directed messages won't get to them either! Andy - the only problem is you can’t direct message somebody you’re not following. And I think @directed messages won’t get to them either!

People flip out when I leave comments on their blogs that I discover through Technorati keyword tracking, but I bet replying to tweets will have 10 times the effect. I just found out that you can exclude words with the minus character too. Quite handy when searching for a certain citrus fruit without the dreams. Thanks for the 411 on Terraminds.

Though it's by no means instantaneous, it also picks up twitter updates. I’ve used Google Alerts for a while. Though it’s by no means instantaneous, it also picks up twitter updates.

Take Fraser Speirs' VisualHub purchase from yesterday as a good example of that.

Mint shows that each product tweet is good for a small handful of downloads. I’ve made a point to Twitter (name: Grayson) about every software update I’ve made lately.

It was pretty incredibly to see all the messages flow through, and I definitely had a new respect for what Twitter afterwards. The only problem with Terraminds or some of the other unofficial services is that they can miss tweets every once in a while, because they are just crawling the public timeline and they can only hit it so often. Tracking over Jabber is reliable, but extremely distracting. :-) While doing my Wii giveaway promotion I used a combination of Terraminds and “track wii” over Jabber to get any mention of “wii” in tweets.

Right up to the point Twitter becomes unusable for everyone. This tweeting sounds like it would integrate well into my new astroturfing campaign.
