MUTING TWEETS FROM CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS |
| |
| |
 |
|
To quote the
website: "Get ready to take control of your twitterstream. twalala is a client
for Twitter that allows you to control what you see, and more importantly, what
you don't see in your twitterstream. Using twalala, you can filter tweets out of
your stream by keywords and phrases or mute individuals who get a bit too
chatty. Finally, Twitter with a mute button." This
is not an app I have tried since I wouldn't want to be unaware of what people I
follow are saying and doing but I can imagine some of my followers finding it
very handy as a way to shut me up for a while! LOL

TwitterSnooze allows you to "Hit the snooze button on your 'verbose Twitter
friends" for between 1 and 30 days. To quote the website: "It's a good tool to
avoid a blast of tweets from a conference you are not attending... just snooze
the conference goers for a few days. It's a nice way to get back at someone for
saying something stupid... give them the silent treatment ;) It's a good way to
ignore someone that just flooded your timeline for no good reason... but it was
just a one-time offence and doesn't merit permanent unfollowing.
As Dave Winer points out, TwitterSnooze is not ideal
because when a person is unsnoozed, Twitter will send them an email alerting
that person that you are now following them again. This is an unfortunate
side-effect of the only way I know to implement a "Snooze" feature (by unfollowing and then re-following a user) given the current API. If you don't
like your snoozers getting alert emails, then TwitterSnooze is not for you.
Security Note: TwitterSnooze stores passwords on the DB. TwitterSnooze deletes
all passwords once they are no longer needed, but if the idea of your password
being stored on this server makes you squeamish, then TwitterSnooze is not for
you."

To quote the
website: "Are you being overwhelmed by twitter friends who can't stop talking,
but they're like... still your friends? Install TwitBlocker (a greasmonkey
script) and then double clicking chattering peeps will temporarily remove their
tweets from your timeline. Restart your browser to get them back. Simple eh? It
works a bit like Twittersnooze or Twalala, but you don't have to give someone
you don't know your password, which is an entirely bad idea, generally
speaking."

If you have, or
know of, a Twitter-related application that you think I should include here,
feel free to tweet me about it!
