Tweetvolume

Tweetvolume allows you to see the popularity of certain keywords in the land of Twitter.
At first glance I thought Twitter was ridiculous... A waste of time and energy, but I'm starting to see it's appeal.
It's a form of "micro blogging" that allows a users to text the answer to the "what are you doing?" question from anytime via there computer or cell phone or web device ... Users can choose to follow whoever they choose.
Links are shared, blogs, products, news articles, .... generally truncated via a plugin like tinyURL... 140 characters is the max allowed for each "Tweet", as they are called.
I'm still figuring out some of the apps and process of replying to specific individuals in the way that makes this a form of "chat room to go". I'm really not into "chat", but I like the random group discussion that ends up being a source of information that I may not get elswhere ....
What you get depends upon who (or what) you follow.

Wow in a bit of narcissurfing, I scored 40 hits on twitter. I wonder who's looking for me?

Wow, ...It's nice to be 'looked for' .... I guess... depends on who's looking for you..

It wouls be nice to be able to click a link and see all the relevent 'tweets'.

I've wondered if there was an automatic narci-crawler that would pick off any blog posts or message board mentions of a name or keyword. I know there are some great rss widgets but I haven't gone hunting for the perfect thingy.
