“John Chandler wrote a nice post”:www.byjohnchandler.com/2011/01/2… on the filters he uses in various Twitter apps. Here’s a clever one for “you missed it”:
"I try to limit how many people I follow so I can read most of what they say. So, if they preface a tweet with something like 'If you missed it,' or 'In case you missed it,' I probably didn't."
As I mentioned in the comments, I have a few filters I like too, such as filtering out all old-style RTs. I even experimented with filtering out all hashtags. It’s great when I want to completely un-clutter the timeline of gimmicky tweets, but I can keep the filter toggled off when I have more time to read.
The advantage of how I built filters in “Tweet Library”:www.riverfold.com/software/… is that they are dynamic collections inside the app, kind of like smart playlists in iTunes. This means while it filters the junk out of my timeline, I can still occasionally go and review what it filtered out.
(I just submitted Tweet Library 1.2.1 to the App Store with a handful of bug fixes. Hopefully it’ll be approved soon.)
