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

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

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.ne...

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/userse...

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?

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.
