We haven't done any Twitter integration yet. We are going to add a button to tweet a comment, but we aren't doing digests. If you want to push a digest to twitter, you can link your comments feed from BackType to: http://twitterfeed.com/

We'll be releasing an API soon so that the apps/tools/etc we don't build can still be built.

Ahh, I read too quickly:

"Following comments by a particular author a la Twitter was a core feature when we launched"

I thought you guys used search.twitter.com and included tweets with my alert term. Please do add twitter as a source of comments for the alerts :)
