Great tip, revealed some surprises as I found people who had replied to my questions. Thanks so much!

Good idea; until recently I wasn't even aware that if you don't start with the @ they won't see it n replies. I use search function fanatically.

Marty's right - why not just use Tweetdeck?
You can set it not only for your name, but also anything else you want to monitor. Or take the search results and feed it into your RSS reader. Or set up an alert at Tweetbeep and have them emailed to you. All much more efficient and easier than keeping a FF tab open, don't you think?

If you still want to search by user, Tweet Scan has started to offer a User Search feature. We've got about 12k profiles indexed which will be growing and updated steadily. It's at http://tweetscan.com/usersearch.php

So, I did that, and it was unbelievable. Thanks for the tip. I've been twitter-impaired!

That's cool. Looks like you can also subscribe to a feed for your search results, which makes it even easier. Thanks!

Great tip, Brian.

Nowadays, you really need to watch what you say on Twitter, as even reporters will use what you say on Twitter and quote you in major newspapers like I was recently: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25...

For catching all @mentions you could just use twhirl which highlights all responses with @name wherever it appears :)

Great Twitter tip, Brian! For people with commonly misspelled last names (like me), I'll search for the misspellings as well (like KariRippertoe).
