Search Own Twitter History Item

Hmmm... been long time using Twitter, yet not found any convenient method to find history of my own Twitter item.

Finally found a way:

Just key in this URL:
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=ethanliew+flash
( where ethanliew is my own Twitter ID + flash my search keyword )

Now I am using Plurk.com + Twitter.com + facebook.com + Blog with Plurk Widget.
Once I start Plurk-ing, my items will be added to Twitter, Facebook and Blogroll.
Make my life easier =)

And now I would please to Plurk and Tweet all favorite links instead of bookmarking it =)
since it is easier for me to search the url back and at the same time can share the goods to public
