I’ve been working on TwittFilter <\/a>for quite awhile now, and I think it’s at a level where I can call it Beta.\u00a0 Not Google Beta, but Beta is the way we used to know it.\u00a0 Mostly there, but not fully perfect or fully bug free.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong><\/em><\/span> With twitter moving to full OAuth, not all features are available at this moment.\u00a0 Scoring and other user settings should be available soon.<\/p>\n

ok, first, what is TwittFilter?<\/p>\n

TwittFilter is a web based application that is geared not as a twitter messaging system, but instead, a collection of tools to filter the twitter stream to help you get to the info you want. I started writing this as I’ve found twitter becoming my second email system.\u00a0 As such, I decided I needed a few email like tools.\u00a0 Hence the address book, and then a scoring system… And it grew from there.\u00a0 Many of the little things that really bother me about twitter, and I can see it only getting worse as it grows in popularity, became additional functions that I put into the system.\u00a0 And there are more to come. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The three following features are the main highlights so far..<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n
\"envelope_sm\"<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
FriendFilter: New Follower scoring and notification.
\n<\/span>TwittFilter will look at both friend\/follow lists, recent activity, friend follow ratio (and a few other things) and give you a score from 0 to 5. You can set the min score before you get an email. This service will also send you grouped emails when you get a reply. \u00a0More on FriendFilter here..<\/a> You can sign up for emails here<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/a>\"twitterbird_sm\"<\/a><\/td>\nSorted & Searchable Tweets.
\n<\/span>There are many great twitter viewing apps out there, but they all seem to have the same limitation. They list the messages in order based on time. We all know a few tweeters who get.. say.. post happy? In TwittFilter, messages are grouped by user and limited to the first 3 only. Your welcome.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"address_sm\"<\/td>\nSearch your friends or followers like an address book.
\n<\/span> Cannot remember your friends twitter name? Type in a few letters of either their twitter name or real name, and get a list of matches. Then click on their icon or type a message right in the program.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Currently TwittFilter is web based only.\u00a0 There are some minor issues on the iphone, but I’m working on them.\u00a0 I detect for iphone ( and one day, BBerry) and have a thin page for mobile devices.\u00a0 Now again, this is Beta, so if you find any bugs or have idea where a simple change would make it better, please let me know.<\/p>\n

..and now.. some screen shots.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
