I’m a big proponent of Twitter events as a way to make connections with others, but there are a lot of them and more all the time.
Sometimes, you’re not going to be interested in the subject matter, which is no one’s fault.
Instead of tolerating a slew of incongruous tweets from your friends or, even worse, unfollowing them just because they are interacting with others, here are some options for how to mute hashtags.
Within TweetDeck, you can use the Global Filter for three options:
People (by name or user name), Words (specific words or hashtags) or Sources (their examples are “API, facebook”)
If you’re using the desktop version, just click the little wrench in the middle of the top right icons, then go to the last menu option that pops up.
I can’t find anything that suggests you can filter things you don’t want, just filter for keyword and Klout score. This is one of the many reasons I don’t like HootSuite.
Their answer is that you can do it in search or keyword columns, but not in your main feed, which seems pretty useless to me.
Maybe they’ll get it. If they do, let me know.
Web Browser
Tweetfilter works on Firefox, Chrome, Opera and IE 8+
The instructions differ based on your browser, so just click the above link.
The Proxlet extension is an easier option for Google Chrome.
Proxlet also works with Twitter clients on desktop or mobile. As of this writing, Proxlet supports:
- TweetDeck Desktop
- Twitter for iPhone
- Twidroyd
- Seesmic for Android
- Spaz
