Ask HN: Please review my Twitter search appendage
URL: http://twhittler.com/
Summary: twhittler is an interface to Twitter search that helps you "whittle down" search results by hiding tweets from any user you want.
I whipped this up after being frustrated at all the spammy or irrelevant tweets surfaced when I was searching for tweets related to one of my projects.
My questions to you are:
* Is twhittler something that would be useful to you in your work?
* Are there features I could add that would make it better?
Thanks HN!
- wesley 17y agoI don't think it's all that useful. There are a ton of spammers out there and to have to block them 1 by 1..
- greely 17y agoWhoops, a (belated) thanks for your reply! That's a great point, and an annoyance I started to notice as I used it myself... if I have a free evening this week, I'll see if I can apply PG's Bayesian filtering method to Tweets. The Twitter data hose is an immensely valuable resource, and I hate to see it muddied up with all that spam. I think it's worth working to improve that. Please let me know if you have thoughts on how I can improve twhittler!
