How did you know he mentioned you?

Is there some sort of @mention bookmarklet/browser extension in HN?

HNWatcher[1] appears to offer something close: "Follow keywords, users, karma, domains on Hacker News".

The first HN notification system I learned of and used was HN Notify[2,3] by Riyad of The Buzz Media[4].

I've been using edavis' hnrss.org[5] of late; it "provides custom, realtime RSS feeds for Hacker News", including for user posts and comments.

A quick search just now turned up dangrossman's HN Replies[6,7] and a few other monitoring options[8].

But in this case, it was indeed steanne's kind email that alerted me to the HN post.
