[twitter-dev] Re: [Feature Request] Hiding certain Hashtags
You can always recommend your friends use the Filter this column feature of TweetDeck. Not the best solution for your exact scenario, but at least it's something. You also may want to take a look at a product that my team recently developed called TidyTweet (http://tidytweet.com). It allows extensive filtering of a search-based Twitter feed and provides the results as RSS, JSON, or a javascript/HTML widget for embedding on a website. At this point, we have no way of tying into the individual user timeline, but we are working on an API that will hopefully allow other apps to tie into our functionality. This may not be exactly what you're looking for, but I thought it was relevant enough to include in the discussion. Thanks.

I came across this idea, when the new football season began. My followers split up into two groups: Those who like football and want to read about it and those who don't like football. I like to twitter about football but I'm afraid that some of my followers tend to unfollow me because my football noise is too much for them. I think it'd be a nice feature to set posts with certain hashtags to hidden or something like that. Just tell me your thoughts - is this nonsense, if so - why? Or does this already exist.. best regards, @georgmahr

Hi Georg, you might like to check out www.LiveFootballChat.com after Sept 10th then.

What I do think would be valuable would be an ability (which may already be present I haven't dug too deeply) to filter by APP. ie to get all updates from a given app OR to exclude based on app. For example this would allow you to quickly and easily remove all updates from PlaySpymaster or other games using Twitter. Once most apps use Oauth each app will have a unique ID so this type of filtering could add greater value. Many many people do not use hashtags I know I very rarely use them but I do use a range of apps (directly or via oauth) and there are apps esp ones I'm not using (games mostly) I could see value from filtering out of my main Twitter views.

[twitter-dev] Re: [Feature Request] Hiding certain Hashtags
And this illustrates in part why hashtags filtering won't achieve exactly what might be expected. ie US based tweets about Football likely start rising right about now as training camps open and end around the Super Bowl in Feb. But the rest of the English speaking world would tweet about a very different Football on a different schedule (what we in the US call soccer) Further many tweets about football (of either type) wouldn't include Football anywhere - would refer to a specific team (The Bears, ManU, Hull, 49ers etc) or to players or coaches or to a league or competition (worldcup, superbowl, afc etc) Shannon Sent from my iPhone On Aug 9, 2009, at 7:39 AM, Dean Collins d...@cognation.net wrote: Hi Georg, you might like to check out www.LiveFootballChat.com after Sept 10th then.

I think it's a great idea for third party application.
In fact, I'm writing a Twitter API library for the CRM114 filter
language right now. The language includes not only regex matching
/football/ but fuzzy regexps /(football){~3}/ (football, within 3
characters) and learning/classifications with post-Bayesian filtering
algorithms. In other words, if people want to filter out content
containing the football tag that's easy to do with any programming
language - no new API call needed - but if people want to be able to
filter out (or in) content about Football - and have the filter
differentiate between American Football and what the rest of the world
knows as Football - then there are some interesting tools available
that will be just a little more accessible to the Twitter community
soon.
