Yes as you say it is a case of making it work for your brand, as often generic words need different filters to more quirky brand names. I like your additional solution, as well and can certainly see a tool being developed that “picks up brand mentions” on twitter, with a few of these filtering options.

I did some messing with it and to be honest, there is no right way, you took it and made it work for you so Success!

You could also give this a try for a different set of results which might be interesting:

site:twitter.com/* name“coffeemarketing”

Interestingly I found a different method that I see as being more accurate, using both of the above ideas as a base.

In Justin's example when I search for my brand term (“coffeemarketing”) using this search phrase;

site:twitter.com/* tweets“coffeemarketing”

I receive 33 results. Unfortunately some of these seeemed to just be picking up the term “tweet” as in latter results I couldn't find the term “coffeemarketing”

Using Rob Alexander's example;

site:twitter.com/*/status “coffeemarketing”

I receive 1 result (I think due to the fact that some brand results will come from replies and for me that is a valid brand mention in the public timeline)

However I had a play myself and found that simply

site:twitter.com/* “coffeemarketing”

seemed to work the best and delivered results that were exactly what I was looking for, dealt with different update scenarios and the exact brand term.

Hope this is helpful!

site:twitter.com/*/status what are you looking for

OR

site:twitter.com/*/status “what are you looking for”

For example, to search my tweets for the word liberty, you can use the following string:

site:twitter.com/RobAlexander/status liberty
