Twitter Tracking
You can track keywords in Twitter using the “Track” command. From the Twitter blog, here’s how it works: “If you’ve set up your phone or IM on Twitter, you can send a command like: track NYC. When someone (anyone who updates in public) mentions “NYC,” you’ll get it on your device in real-time. From there you can send “whois username” to find out more about that person, or “follow username” to follow his or her updates. Don’t want to receive anymore about NYC? Toggle it off with: untrack NYC. You can create as many of these as you want, so send “track drinking tea”, “track iphone”, “track walking san francisco” and you’ll receive matches for all. Want to get a list of what you’re currently tracking? Send “track” alone (or “stats”). Turn them all off by sending “track off”. “
Twitter Digest
Twitter Digest is a service that lets you read Twitter updates in a more manageable fashion. Just pick the usernames you’d like to generate a digest for, and you will see all updates made by them during the past full day (GMT). At midnight, a new set of updates rolls over. The digest is available as both a webpage that you can visit periodically, or as an Atom feed that you subscribe to get updates (grouped as one feed item) in your favorite feed reader.
