Filter mails based on type not just domain

Based on the response to the question about setting up custom filters for Yahoo! mail, it seems like OIB uses the sender's domain to filter mail.

I get email from Amazon both for for stuff I buy on Amazon.com and statements and a newsletter for Amazon Web Services. Currently they all go into OIB Shopping.

Is it possible to make a filter that will separate out the AWS mails into OIB Business while leaving the Amazon.com mails where they are in OIB Shopping.

Thinking about it it, it would actually rock if you could message someone back if they send a tweet that's too long.

E.g.

@sh1mmer "d mybot this is a message that is way longer than you can send on my behalf if I keep going at this rate you'll never be able to send it all"

@mybot "d sh1mmer I'm sorry your last message beginning 'this is a message' was too long. Try shortening it."

"via @username" would be great.

I guess I would truncate the message. Although I've not noticed how the OpenSocial folks do it with their bot.

Sending "d username message"should hopefully be close to "via @username message". I think if you truncated people would get used to how much text they could use.

Right!

We have a bunch of people who are at an event or just doing neat stuff. I think it's worth the community knowing who they are and following them directly if they want. I'm proud of the amazing folks who work at Y! so I'd like to show 'em off.

Retweet with @username

The Open Social foundation twitter bot retweets DMs with the @username which they came from. That would be a good option. It's often nice to highlight the source of a tweet.

We are trying out using the bot to allow a bunch of Yahoo folks to live blog via a single twitter account when they are out at events.

We also use another twitter account to announce new stuff on our developer site. Same deal applies allowing folks to post stuff without having to know the login for the ydn twitter helps a lot.

Just adding my +1 this is a feature I'd love to have.
