So I am always looking for new ways to get tweets I really want to follow and have always wanted to have the ability to get them directly to my gmail account. I had tried a few options but they just didnt pan out but that was until a local Kansas City service Mention Notifier hit the scene (MentionNotifier is © 2009 @timhibbard of EnGraph Software.)

The basic premise behind Mention Notifier is you put in your search term into the service (either @username, a hashtag, or term) supply an email address to have the tweets delivered to and you are in business.

Since it uses the twitter search API you can use operators like OR as well as AND or maybe you want to get tweets just sent by a certain person….then use the from:! Very kool!

As you play around with your follows you will see how easy the service is to use but how very useful it can be. Check it out and get some tweets in your inbox.
