This is really awesome. I'm going to Bangkok on Saturday so I tweeted "@wtf bangkok", and it keeps tweeting me the top stories about bangkok as they happen (like the grenade attack earlier today).

Only suggestion: let me track multiple topics!

Good luck in Thailand, and stay safe. I was there a few months ago, and it was great, but it sounds nasty right now.

Whatever they did to get the @wtf account, it was worth it. Best brand name launch all year, hands down, game over, go home.

Definitely. What it lacks in appropriateness, it overwhelmingly makes up for in why-the-hell-is-everyone-around-me-tweeting-@wtf-ness.

I wonder if this guy will sell: http://www.wtf.com/

This is a really clever idea. I could see myself using this to track breaking news!

Good job guys.

Awesome. If I reply stop does it stop everything? I want more granular controls! Nice job though.

Hey ricky, I'm glad you like it!.

Right now you can only track one thing at a time but we will be adding the feature to track multiple words soon. There is a hack in the mean time, just use "@wtf word1 OR word2".

--AJ.

Congrats on the short handle and the creative idea.

Some suggestions: 1) @wtf t=24hrs; Allow me to adjust the frequency. 2) @wtf -mashable; Allow me to add/remove sources. 3) @wtf "(facebook|twitter) down"; Allow for more advanced searches.

feature creep much? :)

I really like the design/layout. Looks promising!

how is this better than google alerts?
