Thanks. Yes, I do track my name. But the thing is, there doesn't seem to be turn on notifications just for that keyword. (or if there is, I haven't found it). And that's the problem for me.

from the twitter blog yesterday http://blog.twitter.com/2008/05/how-replies-work-on-twitter-and-how.html

Tracking You
Another question I get is how to get the equivalent of the Replies tab (@replies to you, especially from people you don’t follow) over SMS. The work-around for this (for some people) is just to Track your name. E.g., I send ‘track ev’ and get a message every time someone mentions @ev. This is not ideal, because Track currently ignores the “@” symbol, so if you have username that is common, you’ll get lots of irrelevant stuff. We plan to fix that. (Also, yes, we will get the replies tab on m.twitter.com. Soon.)

That’d be cool, Steve. Let me know if/when you finish building the bot, yeah? =).
