Selecting subset of people I follow to view Tweets from on my home page

I'd really like to have my primary "home" page on Twitter only show Tweets from a selected subset of people I'm following. I'm following some people that I'm interested in checking out from time to time, but they Tweet so often that they crowd out everyone else's Tweets on my front page.

This would also be a great option for lots of other situations. For instance, a recording artist (or someone with a similar number of followers) could still follow lots of people but would have the option of having their home page updated with only a small number of close personal friends, a kind of inner circle. A second page could give them a view of Tweets from everyone they are following.
