There's no reason one can't do the moderating oneself if one makes a
new account (@usefulDesignCommunicates say) then watches the old
account RTs (@usefulDesign) or searches using some #hashtag and then
retweets the desired tweets (and ignores the undesirables) from the
new account.
It's a while since I was doing this and I can't remember if I found a
way to get an XML/atom feed from a twitter account — once you have XML
the rest is straightforward in QC it's just a QC object with each
tweet being an object with many of the attributes available inside it.
I did find ways to load tweets into QC from the Twitter severs based
on the tweet_ID (which is most likely to be unique) using a URL
construction algorithm. There's actually a couple of ways to do it
using different servers they have with different URL patterns, it's
all available at Twitter Developer and the Forums and Docs.
I did look at the twitter APIs and they had just been changed/advanced
and some things got harder in terms of writing log-in code from inside
QC using URI tokens which has been discussed on kineme.net in a few
threads. Also there is an advanced Twitter API by which you can query/
stream the whole fire-hose of twitter activity but that gets into
serious programming so I left it well alone :-)
The feed provider I was using was Tidy Tweets and the service has some
nice features which you can read on their home page but it does cost
$100 a month, which is kind of on the steep side for the complexity of
the code involved. Market(ing Dept) is happy to pay that I guess.
It's actually cheap if it's your only option! Fine for a one off but
if your thinking of using for a year or more I would definitely
consider commissioning a QC Twitter plugin direct from Kineme or pay a
programmer to code some PHP tools (say) to make a simple moderation
web-app to do this. Good opportunity for a web-app coder to provide an
alternative I would imagine, plenty of room under $100 a month.

Any names for third party hosts that do that? That's a really simple/
lazy man's way of handling it, and I like it.
In the past, I've searched for hashtags directly on Twitter using
QC, then delay the strings for approval. I like the thought of this
approach though.

I second Achims approach if you want the computer to check it.
However, there are so many imaginative ways around a word checker I

Another option is to moderate the actual twitter stream. There are
3rd party hosts which will send you notifications of tweets that
match your tokens (say hashtags or unique words) and if you approve
the tweet it becomes retweeted via a new twitter account you buy
from them. You then just watch that account via Atom feed inside
QC. That's how I've done it in the past.
The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature
but plunges him more deeply into them.

Hi Kevin,
I would recommend using a JavaScript patch and write some code to
do the filtering, because you have to filter a lot of words, and
you wouldn't like to place hundreds of String replace-patches in
your composition. With an array of words in JavaScript this may
also be the easiest way to extend the list.
best,

Hey guys,
ATM i'm making a patch to display tweets related to a certain
hashtag. I would like
to filter out multiple words swearingwords, but does this mean i
have
to add a "String-replace" for each word, or are there easier
solutions to to this?
Thx in advance!
