Summize is excellent. You can set up an RSS feed on your start-up name and then it feeds you Tweets that mention it. It is a great way to connect with early adopters who use your site.

You can do that with our search engine as well, plus you can see a trend of the mentions over the past week. For example: http://twittersearch.flaptor.com/search/search.do?tz=-3&...

Looks like everyone has one these days :) http://terraminds.com/twitter/

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I visited summize.com before. They used to focus on searching book/movie reviews. Now it is totally different.

Yes, I remember that. It was innovative and very useful actually. The new twitter-summize seems not that impressive, not ground breaking at all, and far less useful. Plus we already have tweetscan.com. Is twitter search that important? I think the value of twitter is in the instant, not in the history.

Summize picks up more results than Tweetscan, at least in my experience. I'm not sure why.
