Topsy now supports the special site and from queries – a powerful way of discovering links posted on Twitter. site:domain limits results to links on the domain. For instance,  site:wikipedia.org shows the most popular wikipedia articles on Twitter, site:flickr.com shows the most popular photos posted on flickr.  site:amazon.com shows the most popular products.  site queries also include support the first path element, so site:wired.com/gadgets will show you all Wired stories about gadgets that are being linked on Twitter.

The from:user queries limit results to links posted by a user.  So from:YOURNICKNAME will show links posted by you.  Both from:user and site:domain can be combined with other queries of course and with each other.   Here’s a list of movies I’ve mentioned on twitter:  site:imdb.com from:vipulved

Enjoy.
