Filter Hashtags
Very simple feature: "Ignore This Hashtag" link would filter out all tweets with a given hashtag.
I’m happy

We've discussed and don't plan to introduce auto-hiding of specific hashtags or keywords at the moment. Muting individual users can sometimes help.

Would you like to see this within your timeline? So if a lot of people you're following are using a hashtag you don't see their updates?
Thanks,

Correct! A lot of times, people I follow start talking about something that I have no interest in, and will apply a hashtag to their tweets. I'd like to potentially hover over the hashtag, have a context menu come down and click, "Ignore This Hashtag" or "Silence This Hashtag." Something like that.
Thanks! -
Inappropriate?Interesting idea. We just implemented a mute feature, which you can access either from profile pages or however over user icons in your time line. We have not considered muting things on content-level but it's an intriguing idea.
Thanks! -
Inappropriate?I'd expand this to a full "keyword" filter. Not a sports fan so I'd like to be able to mute sports tweets for a couple of hours when it starts to get overwhelming (mostly on big game days).

Inappropriate?It would also be great if the filters could be more complex, e.g., filter tweets containing "x" unless they also contain "y". -
Inappropriate?I like the way iTunes does Smart Playlists. That model could translate well to this.1 Comment Add a comment

I'm not familiar with their smart playlists but I'll look into it.

Inappropriate?Muting via regular expression. To get rid off all those twittascope and other bot posts, but still allow other tweets from the user to come through.

Inappropriate?Ability to apply filter to twitter stream. Not just mute a person, but mute all tweets containing specific content (i.e. hashtag). Sometimes I can't take in all the tweets from a conference during the day, so allow me to remove the noise for a bit, then unfilter it later when I'm ready to read.

Inappropriate?Would be great if you could do the opposite as well - at the end of the day, I may want to read all those conference tweets that I didn't have time to earlier, so give me an option to "show only this [content/hashtag]".3 Comments Add a comment

Mikki: You can do that by creating a saved search (perform a search for that hashtag at the top, then click "save this search").
-
that does a search of all twitter users, I'm only interested in those that I follow.

Ah, I see. I've got no solution for you then. Sorry.

That's too bad. Seems like something that would be fairly easy to implement clientside.
-
Inappropriate?It would be really great to be able to filter on keywords, and/or to create groups based on keyword filters!

Feature request: filtering on hashtags.
I’m optimistic

Inappropriate?The ability to mute certain keywords would be great. For example this current TT is celebrityperfumes--i'd love to be able to filter that out of my timeline since a number of people i follow feel the need to do back to back to back tweets about this TT.
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?Stephen Fry is extremely entertaining, but he keeps going on about his passion for #grandslamdarts. I can't muster any enthusiasm for this even when Fry is talking about it. Would be really nice to be able to mute this hashtag as I'm just never going to be interested in it.
I’m sad
-
Inappropriate?Oh god yes. Please allow hashtag filtering! A couple of my friends post pictures of their damn COFFEE ten times a day with the hashtag #coffeewatch, I don't want to block them entirely but I would love to hide this crap from my timeline. PLEASE, I BEG YOU!!!!!
I’m crazy
