Hi Russ,
We (Virginia Wine Board Marketing Office) have an account with RowFeeder (http://s.rowfeeder.com/6deff6ae8fjNx) that we use to track the twitter feed about #vawine and #wbc11. With the account they will generate various reports that highlight different statistics. It has proven to be very useful!
