A while back, I modified Justin’s Twitter Reply Sniffer to add a little more functionality. The reply sniffer is really useful to help find Twitter @ replies directed toward you from everyone (whether you follow them or not). This is incredibly helpful for me in a couple of ways. First, it finds replies that I missed from people I follow. Second, I just can’t keep up with the noise if I follow everyone who follows me; however, I think that the conversations are one of the most important aspects of Twitter, and the reply sniffer helps me participate in those conversations.
My issue with the original reply sniffer is that it was based on TerraMinds.com, which was down all day yesterday, so I decided to modify it to use a similar service, TweetScan. Here is the link to the new and improved Twitter Reply Sniffer pipe.

I’m glad you made this. I think TerraMinds is down for good.
Justin, yeah, I’m not sure what the deal is with TerraMinds, but I couldn’t live without my reply sniffer (thanks to you for making the first version!)
This is great– I found some Tweets that I missed!
DeafMom - awesome! I’m glad you like it. I’ve been finding some tweets I’ve missed, and I’m happy to see others using it, too!
