Twitter – Subscribe to Twitter replies for a tweet that isn’t mine twitter Is there a way to subscribe to Twitter replies to a tweet that isn't mine? Maybe some external service? Best Answer Unless and until your @username is not in the thread, you cannot be notified for the replies. Even if your @username is in the thread and someone replies to the thread by removing your @username, still you cannot receive the notification. For the notifications to work someone has to mention your @username,or favorite the tweet you were mentioned in, or retweet your tweet, or follow you!

Twitter – Subscribe to custom Twitter RSS feed Twitter Advanced Search has some of what you're looking for -- f'r instance, here's the feed for tweets with the tag '#aardvark' that are emitted by someone named 'pete' (which has no results, sadly) Unfortunately, there are no wildcards that I'm aware of, so it's an exact-match on the tag and name. There are a lot of other options available, though. Perhaps it might be possible to magic-up some google-fu to do this -- and then set up a google-alert for the RSS feed. Again, I could not find a way to limit it to a specific sender, nor to hashtags (since the "#" is ignored) Related TopicTwitter – Looking for responses to one specific tweetFacebook – way to subscribe the Twitter and Facebook account to an RSS feedTwitter – Hide Replies from Appearing in Timeline
