Nalin, I appreciate the ideas. Remember, you can’t DM somebody who isn’t following you. I want to maintain a fairly complete collection of filters for the common “noise tweets,” and use it in TalkingPuffin under user control, and invite other application developers to use it as well. Maybe as

Regex isn't that tough, but it IS one of those things you need to get into the rhythm of, and it's very easy to fall out. Every time I heavily dive back in though, after lots of frustration, you eventually end up with a lot of elegance and power. ∞ Andy Badera ∞ +1 518-641-1280 ∞ This email is:

also , there should be a way for people whose tweets are wrongly marked as spam to remove their reg -exes from the system- and the system can perhaps send a direct message to sender for every 100 or so noise tweets blocked. Just a thought.. N. S On 10/14/09, Dave Briccetti da...@davebsoft.com

Please submit your candidate “noise tweets”: http://bit.ly/NoiseTweets I’ll review them and add them to the repository. These should generally be messages of the type of viral advertising— some service doing something for a Twitter user and then blabbing about it through the careless or

To add a bit more usefulness to this, I'd suggest adding some sort of Bayesian filter and domain white/black listing. Just my 2 cents. Great idea though. On Oct 9, 9:40 am, JDG ghil...@gmail.com wrote: Don't paste them here. Please go to the link he posted above. Pasting them here would be,

I think it might be a better idea to publish the regex code somewhere, so that developers can directly include it in their apps if they want to. If you provide a web service, can I send my users to your email address or support system if your regexs reject their tweets as false positives? ;-) I
