Twitter really need to add this functionality to the core service. I use several different Twitter clients. I'm following a couple of users who I'd like to hide the tweets of, but it would potentially be awkward to unfollow them if they notice.
- mct 16y agoOne native-Twitter solution available to you today is to create a private list containing only the people you'd like to read on a regular basis. https://support.twitter.com/entries/76460-how-to-use-twitter-lists https://support.twitter.com/entries/76460-how-to-use-twitter...
- josephb 16y agoThis is how I use twitter! Lists are very useful if you follow are large number of people. Create a few smaller lists of the things you really want to see or that are important. I created a list for the services I use, I check it once a day to see who's tweeted about something new and improved. I have another list for co-workers and friends and check that one as my default.
- rudiger 16y agoI like that Twitter forces you to be honest about who you're following. Then again, I have the same problem with instant messaging's Appear Offline (it erodes the value of the network, and destroys the discoverability of weak connections).
- waterlesscloud 16y agoWhat would be most useful for me is to mute someone for a set period of time. If someone is off on a long series of tweets I don't care about, it would be nice to mute them for an hour or two until they're done. Or if someone is tweeting from a conference and I don't care about it, I could mute them for a couple of days. These are scenarios where I definitely don't want to unfollow, but I'd also like to not read dozens of uninteresting tweets.
