Ok, sorry for starting a new thread.. the old one I started has some bad information in it.Tracking is a feature of twitter that's incredibly useful, but has been broken for months. So, I wrote a bot that will do the same thing and its fully ready to go now.<ul><li>Follow TweetTrak. From your phone send a tweet: 'follow tweettrak". You should immediately get followed back.</li><li>Send a direct message with track and what you want to search. From your phone, 'd tweettrak track fanfaire' or 'd tweettrak track @RyanK' (replace with your username or perhaps a guildname or server name or whatever else)</li><li>Sit back and watch as people you don't know talk about cool stuff, or send tweets with '#fanfaire' in them and be able to ask questions or relay funny things to everyone tracking 'fanfaire'.</li><li>If you've had enough... send 'd tweettrak untrackall' or 'd tweettrak untrack fanfaire' to stop getting notified.</li></ul>I highly encourage you to track your own username so you can see people replying to you that you don't know.I haven't had much time to work out some of the rough edges, but it works well enough to use! You will get duplicate notices from people you have devices notices on that match what you're tracking. That won't be fixed until after fanfaire though.Enjoy! As always, comments, questions and feedback are very welcome! Post here, PM me here, or just send a tweet with @RyanK in it (or @TweetTrak)RyanK/Calpus/Fawwr/Porb
