tracking multi-word expressions, rather that multiple words?
i want to track posts that contain several words in a particular order.
for example, i want to track posts that contain the expression "cell space".
but if i issue "track cell space", it tracks all posts that contain the word "cell" and the word "space", e.g. "cell phone and living space". i don't want those. i only want posts with the expression "cell space".
is there a way?

Inappropriate?Hi tristan,
According to Twitter's FAQ page, you would be able too. I can testify myself as I track several mult-word expressions like you.
In your case, issuing 'track cell space' should track only 'cell space'. One thing we can check is what do you get back when you send just 'track'? This would list you all the word(s), phrase(s) you're tracking. Maybe you are some how also tracking 'cell' and 'space' separately? Just a guess. -
Inappropriate?"track" indicates that i track "cell space" (i don't track "cell" nor "space"). yet, i keep getting twitters where those two words are not consecutive (i.e. there are other words between them).
so there seem to be a bug, or their FAQ page / documentation is incorrect.
note that i issued the command:
track cell space
(and not: track "cell space").
maybe that makes a difference?

Inappropriate?my "track cell space" just caught this:
(skytland): Yuri Malenchenko just called my cell phone from space station! So cool.
that's an example of what i don't want - cell and space are not consecutive (i'm only interested when they are consecutive). although this particular twitter was quite cool...
