Adam, I do agree - a nice shiny design is key to a good website - its your first impression. But as a designer maybe I am biased :)

Tom, typing with your elbows seems to be quite the challenge. I hope your hands heal from whatever industrial accident prevents them from properly capitalizing, spacing and punctuating your blog spam.

PS: Thanks, Adam, for the report. It's a challenge to track reputations online and Summize sounds like a service worth trying.

I am rather disappointed by your posting - this tool has a lot of interesting options, but it is more or less a posting about how you monitor mashable.

And let's not forget:
"Most noticeably, Summize has a shiny design, versus the rather drab Tweetscan."

Tweetscan is a hack i welcome very much, because it is mobile friendly. Summize has a lot of better features but probably also better backing.

Language filtering is huge and it would have been interesting to see how they do it; support for hashtags as well as the built in re-twitter bot for free etc ...

But of course. Most noticeably is that it is more shiny.

Greg, you were correct, thanks.

Adam, that "here" twitter. link doesn't exactly jump right out at a guy ...

Andrew -- I've a feeling you're searching on www.summize.com rather twitter.summize.com. Only the latter includes the Twitter stream.

Thanks Adam for this post. The ability to reply has always been there...it's just been in the form of a small green '<<'. It's now been changed to 'Reply' so it'll be clearer to all.

Abdur, what do you mean? I put my last name in your search box. I get no results. Therefore to me, the gist of this article, Summize being a better Twitter Search than Tweetscan, is not true.

Andrew, not sure I understand your post. Did you try our query operators to limit the search to your status changes?

Problem is, the domain of searchable words ... "millions" ... seems pretty limited. I can't Summize my own name, for instance, but TweetScan picks me up ...

Thanks for the post Adam, keep the suggestion coming.
