The answer is: for the same reason that one would use Twitter in the first place. I suspect that the question stems from the common perception that Twitter is nothing but people spewing pointless minutia about even the most of mundane activities. There are people who do that. I generally don't follow them. There IS some worthwhile traffic there. And a watch list is one of the more sensible ways to find it. Interresting question, Hsa.

These are ongoing though. I suppose it is possible that people are tweeting, then protecting their account, but I think its unlikely that it would happen so often. I guess it would be easy enough to test... Create a throw away Twitter account, password protect it, add a tweetbeep alert for a nonsense word, post that nonsense word to the protected time line and see what happens. I will try to do that today and let everyone know what I come up with. Lovin tweetbeep though! Let me know if there is ever anything you need that I might be able to hep with!

Maybe it was finding tweets from previously public accounts that have now been made private? The first alert you get does get the last 50, even if it goes all the way back to April 2008 when Summize/Twitter started collecting the data...
