If we were to filter out any content, we would be breaking the agreement we made with Twitter when we started developing on top of their platform and they could revoke our access. Thanks for the tip about pitching. The copy on the site need

As far as I know using "Tweet" in your name isn't too big an issue (look at Tweetdeck pre-acquisition). Based on how Twitter have been tightening the rules on how we use their platform recently though, it might be something to look at. Our

Social custom search folders is an angle that we hadn't considered. It's been mentioned somewhere else in this thread too, so it's definitely something to think about. Thanks! We've been aiming at the power user market for now, trying to ge

We did actually consider prompting for an email address once they sign up with Twitter. However, whenever I've used an app that does that to me I just leave the site and don't go back and thought that if I didn't like it happening to me, it

Unforunately, the filter set up is something that we're struggling to simplify. Hootsuite, Tweetbot etc offer searching and muting based on tweet content. Tweetdig offers the ability to filter based on a wide range of criteria (such as filt

It's free for 1 Twitter account and up to 8 filters. After that, there's an annual payment of $20 for 3 accounts and 15 filters, or a $10 monthly for 10 accounts and 40 filters. Thanks for the feedback about the copy. We're both developers

Unforunately, as we're a platform and not an addon we have to provide a separate interface for the app. In reply to Twitter being a continuous stream, that is how some people (yourself included) use Twitter. Other people (such as myself) us

Hi Jon, thanks for giving us a go back when we started! We had a lot of people saying that the initial setup was too much, so we've tried to make it a bit easier by providing suggested filters and back filling with data so there's something

The sign in with twitter was more prominent but we actively took attention away from it so that people would see the sign up with an email address first. By enabling sign in with Twitter, we lose a communication channel that we could be usi

It's not social at all at the minute. Sharing folders between users is an idea we've been discussing, but nothing's come of it yet. We email users every time there is a large update to the site with a fairly high open rate. However, not man

It's interesting that you mentioned the set up time. We've added some suggested filters for things like links, retweets and videos and they seem to be quite popular. We've got to find a way to find it easier to let people create more specif

We're working on a realtime filtering engine for Twitter. Think "gmail filters + labels", but for Twitter. http://tweetdig.com
