I, like perhaps you do, have a daily google alert on my name. Notice that single tweets are starting to make it into those alerts lately.

How do i set one of those up, Hutch? - Mathew A. Koeneker

Mathew - just go here, and put your name in (I use quotes around mine): http://www.google.com/alerts - Hutch Carpenter

Nice if your "Hutch Carpenter" or "Mathew Koeneker", but if you're "Mark Stevens", you may as well be "John Smith". Everyone needs to give their kids really unique names now (and squat on the domain too). - Mark Stevens

Mark, that just means you have to work twice as hard. Try being Peter Kim. - Peter Kim

Thanks, Hutch for the tip! - Mathew A. Koeneker

Oh yeah, I got the Google juice flowing now. :-) - Mathew A. Koeneker

btw Hutch I mentioned your name the other day, but it was in a presentation and screencast. presentation is here http://vimeo.com/5407512 screencast here http://vimeo.com/5317872 - Keith - @tsudo

both mentions in gratitude for you showing how friendfeed entries show up in Google - Keith - @tsudo

Really? Thanks Keith - let me check those out. - Hutch Carpenter

Yep, same for me too! But doesn't catch all tweets though. - Samuel Driessen

For another way of doing this try using a vanity/branded room on Friendfeed. Setup searches via Google, Twitter, Backtype, and pump them all into one room. - Keith - @tsudo

@keith thats exactly how i do it. - Carlos Ayala

I like these tips. Thanks, ya'll! :-) - Mathew A. Koeneker
