I just discovered Nambu yesterday (www.nambu.com) and am liking it so far. It's still in beta but looks very full-featured already. I believe it handles the API limit dynamically.

Monitoring brand mentions on Twitter is practically a fulltime job :)

If you’re running multiple accounts the Tweetdeck really won’t cut it – though the search features are excellent.

I haven't looked at TweetDeck in a while, but I think the searches are new, so maybe I'll take another look. I use a whole bunch of tools for monitoring, so if there's an interest, I could do a number of posts. There are definitely a lot of tools, though some are more useful than others.

I've been just dipping a toe into Twitter recently and like you, thought it would be cool to see if people are talking about things I could help them with. But I found it cumbersome to manually search on keywords of interest via Twitter search. After reading your article, I thought that there most be some tools out there to do this, and sure enough - there are loads! So today I installed TweetDeck, which is a cool Adobe AIR app. It lets you setup searches and it polls via the Twitter API and posts the results. I crated a search for DNS and got a slew of almost realtime posts of people complaining about DNS outages with a few large providers today. Wow, its like Google alerts in near REALTIME! I love it.... If anyone reading this post comes across other cool Twitter like apps, please post them here so that other resellers can take advantage of them. Thanks! -Rob Hi James,
