WTF? Track the top story for any topic with Scoopler's @WTF. (YC S08)

  This is a really clever idea. I could see myself using this to track breaking news! Good job guys.

  This is really awesome. I'm going to Bangkok on Saturday so I tweeted "@wtf bangkok", and it keeps tweeting me the top stories about bangkok as they happen (like the grenade attack earlier today). Only suggestion: let me track multiple topics!

    Good luck in Thailand, and stay safe. I was there a few months ago, and it was great, but it sounds nasty right now.

  Awesome. If I reply stop does it stop everything? I want more granular controls! Nice job though.

    Hey ricky, I'm glad you like it!. Right now you can only track one thing at a time but we will be adding the feature to track multiple words soon. There is a hack in the mean time, just use "@wtf word1 OR word2". --AJ.

  Whatever they did to get the @wtf account, it was worth it. Best brand name launch all year, hands down, game over, go home.

    I wonder if this guy will sell: http://www.wtf.com/ http://www.wtf.com/

    Definitely. What it lacks in appropriateness, it overwhelmingly makes up for in why-the-hell-is-everyone-around-me-tweeting-@wtf-ness.

  Congrats on the short handle and the creative idea. Some suggestions: 1) @wtf t=24hrs; Allow me to adjust the frequency. 2) @wtf -mashable; Allow me to add/remove sources. 3) @wtf "(facebook|twitter) down"; Allow for more advanced searches.
