Earlier this month, I wrote about tracking mentions of yourself on twitter more completly then just checking the @replies tab on twitter (or in tweetdeck).  Keeping tabs on what people say about you in twitter is only one step in effectively tracking references to yourself online.

So here's step 2, if you want to really know what people are saying about you online, take the search a step furthe

Both Twitter and TweetDeck (as well as most other Twitter Clients) give you an easy way to get a list of responses people sent you.  On Twitter itself, this is the @Replies tab off of your home page. TweetDeck gives you a Replies column by default, and if you delete it, you can get it back by clicking on the replies button on the top of the screen.  TweetDeck's replies button uses the replies twitter feed feature from the Twitter API to work, so it returns the exact same list that you get on the home page.

I've found however, that I often want to track everything that is said to or about me, even if they are not technically @replies.  Because of this I've ditched the replies column in my TweetDeck and instead have created my own @replies list of sorts using the Search feature in TweetDeck which uses the Twitter Search API. To do this yourself follow the simple instructions after the break.

This evening I attended the Official CD Release Party of The Evermore Project at Cafe Friday.

Saturday my family and I watched a movie on DVD called Dickie Roberts - Former Child Star. The movie started kinda slow and so my mom quickly lost interest. And overall it's probably not all that good of a comedy, but it did have some very hilarious scenes in it.
