This is a huge problem, IMO. It only takes one or two noisy accounts to flood your feed on a regular basis. There are a handful of people I really don't want to unfollow, but they tend to dominate my feed even when they're not completely overwhelming it.
All I really want is the ability to designate certain follows as "important", which would give me their tweets in something like the format of an RSS reader at the top of the page. Then dump the rest into the current "river of news" style which I can wade through, or not.
- dantheman 13y agoI use lists to separate different groups of people
- perlpimp 13y agolists are useless imo, they are just like contact lists in skype or aim chat. And to make them there is no reward after. Lists would be useful to organize people and give different rules to have posts leak into main feed. for example posts with at least 2 retweets and/or 2 likes. if they'd make something like that, that would be awesome. For now I just don't bother I scan fast enought to find interesting bits for me. my 2c.
- eslackey 13y agoTwitter has solved this with the "unfollow" button. I'd be annoyed if they started filtering my feed like Facebook does.
- jusben1369 13y agoIt's always confused me to that I can't prioritize tweeters into 1, 2 and 3. Open up twitter after 8 hours and the tweets are sorted in priority.
- fudged71 13y agoBecause this feature would be abused by everyone who thinks too highly of their own posts.
- jusben1369 13y agoHow would that work? I mean I would follow a new person and categorize them into 1, 2 or 3 preference.
- pradn 13y agoI stopped following the president because his feed would crowd everything else out. Same with CNN or the NYT. I just don't want them to crowd out the Bret Victors on my feed.
