Allow special characters to track
I will love to track my replies ( using the track @username ) but it seems that track do not allow special characters (like @) so replies is painful.
See my example, I'm Leech on Twitter, so if I track @Leech (it becomes to 'track Leech') and anytime someone says Leech on the public timeline I receive a notification.
Like me there's a lot of people in worst conditions ( @andy, @joan, @steve, etc ).
Could you please include special chars to tracks? or at least basic special chars like: @ and # (for hashtagging).

Inappropriate?This would be great... my username is katrina_, and the underscore gets dropped, so I end up tracking Katrina ... I get a lot of texts about the hurricane, as you can imagine, which generally includes four or five people retweeting the same thing. It's getting old, but I don't want to miss @replies!
I’m excited!

Inappropriate?while you're at it, add scandinavia characters like å, ä & ö as well please! I use them very often, and it's kinda boring to have to resort to html-code every time someone has a namne that includes the above characters. It shouldn't be that hard to implement i think.
I’m hopeful

Inappropriate?Twitter's track command has been of line for months (though we've been promised that it will return some day).
In the meantime, Twitter user @RyanK has written TweetTrak, which converts selected tweets (i.e. those containing keywords of your choice) into direct messages sent to you, though there is a time delay.
If you follow http://twitter.com/TweetTrak it will follow you back and is then ready for use.
TweetTrak differs in some ways from Twitter's track command, and may fulfil some of your needs.
TweetTrak is not currently in full working order, but @RyanK and Twitter are trying hard to resolve this.
I’m hopeful too.
