Twitter‘s mobile updates text message you with tweets for your selected followers. It will also text message you with any direct messages you receive. Unfortunately, @replies are left out in the cold. Using the magic of Twitter Search, Yahoo Pipes, and Yahoo Alerts, you can begin to receive all @replies directed to you on your cell phone!
Enter your Twitter username into my Twitter @replies pipe
Right-click “Get as RSS” and click “Copy Link Location”
Go to Yahoo Alerts. If you haven’t already setup the service, you will need to configure it now. Be sure you setup your mobile phone to receive alerts.
In the “Create an Alert” tab, click “Feed/Blog”
Paste the URL we copied earlier into the box labeled ‘A’
Check the box for mobile alerts at the bottom and be sure your phone is selected
Click “Save Alert”
You will now receive all your @replies via text message on your phone. Enjoy!
Now that Yahoo is dropping support of Alerts, you might try @FeedTwit to get your replies by SMS.
My phone carrier isn’t supported.
Thanks for posting this article though!
AWESOME! Just set it up… Let’s see if it works!
