is there a list of words that are systems driven ? e.g by typing in "Stats" , twitter responds displaying followers /following stats !! thas kewl, but there must be more keywords correct ?? :)-
@biz (one of the founders of Twitter) answered us, here's the useful list in case you use Twitter too. I learned about "get" today, cool!
"invite 415-555-1212 john" sends a text invite to john
"follow username" you will get phone updates from this person
"on" enables twitter updates
"get username" gets this person's last update
"nudge username" encourages this person to update
"leave username" disables updates from this person
"off" disables twitter updates
"stats" a few statistics about your Twitter account
"help" sends back a list of twitter lingo commands
"d username message" sends a direct message to this person
"whois username" for information about a particular person
"track keyword" to start tracking a keyword
"untrack keyword" to stop tracking a keyword
"tracks" returns a list of keywords you are tracking
BTW: I'm writing this blog from YAB Flock, testing out yet another browser.
Update: The "get" and "followers" have been taken out from above as peterdawson and myself discovered.
- "followers" returned "We're no longer supporting this command. Soon it will be received as an update."
- "get" returned "Can't find that person. Did you misspell the name?"
Blogged with Flock

Do these keywords only work when you are txt'ing Twitter, rather than a desktop app like Twitterific?
Hi Ryan,
Nice meeting you on Twitter, maybe I'll bump into you on campus one of these days.
Now as for these keywords working on a client like Twitterrific, the only one I think it works would be the DM, direct message one.
The rest of them, when sent, requires Twitter to send back a confirmation text. So I would think they only work via IM or SMS.
If you find otherwise, please do let me know.
These keywords are awesome, thanks for the heads up. They seem to work for IM.
I'll definitely see you around campus
