"There are many Twitter tools now that allow you to access multiple Twitter accounts at once but there is no tool available that I know of that give you an at-a-glance overview of Twitter RT mentions across multiple Twitter accounts. This pipe is created specifically to serve this purpose. Enter a list of Twitter accounts that you wish to track and the pipe dishes out all the Twitter mentions in a list, with the author's name prepended before the feed item title so you can see them at a glance who tweeted about you! http://pipes.yahoo.com/seeming..."

@LouCypher well I guess if it's in the Google-way of doing things, the input field would accept any kind of input and figure out how to parse automatically! :)
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
@LouCypher ok I just noticed something weird - your pipe has more output than mine because of the lack of @. What gives?!
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
Also noted, basically you can track anything really - like keywords, hashtags, whatever. it'll just track it really - you can do #friendfeed#apple whatever. Updated pipe prompt!
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
I still use it as @mention search, I just removed the @ from the input field
- LouCypher
right understood - basically the same. but because of what you did, I realized that the same search field is basically search anything really! So you can put in #apple#ibm and just get a custom anything feed. Kindda just like a meta Twitter search engine

That sounds like an awesome job. Congratulations!

congrats... I've had a new job forced upon me too. Carer of 2 little 7 week old kittens >.< no chance of me being able to work for a month!

This will be the first time I've left a job. I've never resigned, never left a contract at mid-point, I've always stayed to the end or until I've been made redundant.

"Mark Jason Dominus' absolutely great Perl book is now available for free download in PDF format by virtue of special permission from the publisher. Higher-Order Perl is about functional programming techniques in Perl.". I have that book, and have enjoyed it

This book has been available as a PDF for some time, but probably only from the authors' website. It's an amazing book with different functional (but actually higher order) programming techniques implemented using Perl.

"In a bored moment the other day I was idly looking to see which (if any) other top level domain names are owned by twitter.com. The answer is, none. This is quite a common mistake made by startups, they work incredibly hard to become a global brand and then discover that a bunch of domainers and/or squatters have taken the different, localised variations of their brand name."

I'm writing an article "Delicious As Storage Yahoo Pipes As Broker FriendFeed as Customer". Finished the first part which include Flickr integration. The second part include SlideShare integration but description is not ready . http://friendfeed.com/kasparm...
Can anyone make a Y! Pipes that will filter tweets starting with @ and tweets containing "ff.im" out, so that I can import the remainder into FF? Creating Y! Pipes are beyond me.
I bet the answer to your first query was the disappointing: "Wolfram|Alpha isn't sure what to do with your input." That's because Wolfram Alpha is not a search engine - it's a knowledge inference engine and so many people struggle to get the best out of it. It deals with facts, maths and statistics and it deals with them very well.

I wish I could add this gadget, but when I enable the Gadgets from any URL thing in Labs, I don't see the form to enter the URL under the Gadgets tab. Apparently several people have this problem (went to the Google Groups to add feedback that it's not working correctly), and no one has offered up any solution. :( Sucks!
- Cheryl Jones
Finally get the idea,it is cool though,but not very practical.
- Steve Chou
The URL tab is added to your settings area, not the Labs area. That was confusing for me.
- Yolanda
That is so cool! For me, the only problem is the width which is not appropriate but it works fine
- Rémi Fayolle
@Yolanda: I know. The description for the Labs item that you enable says that a Gadgets tab will be enabled on the Settings page, but clicking on that Gadgets tab doesn't show the form where you can enter the URL like it's supposed to. Bah.
- Cheryl Jones
@cheryljones I'm having the same problem too. I just get a blank page on the gadgets tab. Let me know if you figure out how to import.
- Al Stevens
@Al: Just for fun I went back to the Gadget tab in my Gmail settings, and the URL form box is there now. Just added the FriendFeed gadget to Gmail, yay!
- Cheryl Jones
Hmmm. The FF gadget is less useful than I thought. First of all, there doesn't seem to be a way to manually refresh it without refreshing Gmail as a whole (perhaps I'm too impatient waiting for updates). Also you can't post an original post through the gadget. And the number of FF updates shown by the gadget is limited. I thought I'd be able to see older posts. Oh well, it might be good for occasional use.
- Cheryl Jones
Nice, but wish the tabs in Gmail had replacing options..

"The Great Australian Firewall has claimed another victim - some pages of Wikileaks have been added to the blacklist of websites which Australians are not allowed to look at. The reason for the block is that Wikileaks published a list of websites banned by the Danish government. Australian websites which link to the pages face the threat of a A$11,000 fine."
