Twitter - sms based on certain content - possible?

Hi

I know in twitter you can select specific twitter accounts that you want all their tweets to be sent to your mobile...but... is there any way to say you want tweets that have specific content only sent to your phone by sms.

A specific example is paddy power - which runs very short term special offers with enhanced odds and they use the hash tag #pricegasm (!) - I don't want all their other tweets to my phone but would be really handy if I could get their tweets with this hashtag sent so I see them immediately.

Any ideas?

TIA

You can't do it via Twitter directly.
You *might* be able to do it using a combination of tools
(No idea if this will work quickly enough for you .. )

Setup a new twitter account
Use Twitterfeed (or similar) to grab tweets using that hashtag + user and republish them via your new account
Setup that account to SMS you with every tweet

Sounds worth a try

How do I do the twitterfeed bit?
It requires either a Blog URL or RSS Feed URL... what would I enter here to have it analyse tweets from a particular account that have a particular hashtag?
