Put That Tweeter On Hold Or Be Petty
One of the first things some people on Twitter will do when huge conferences are in effect is start unfollowing those that will Twitter about the conference. Of course there are various why. For example, some don’t want to know what they’re missing out on. How does?
Twitter Snooze App
Well now, there’s a great solution floating around, which is an app called Twitter Snooze. Twitter Snooze allows you to type in a list of "Tweeters" you’d like to snooze and set the length of snooze time based on the amount of days you’d like to ignore them.
Who is Twitter Snooze For?
Well, as aforementioned, it’s great for unfollowing conference Tweeters until the conference is over. However, the website notes more devious reasons to use Twitter Snooze:
It’s a nice way to get back at someone for saying something stupid… give them the silent treatment ;)
It’s a good way to ignore someone that just flooded your timeline for no good reason… but it was just a one-time offense and doesn’t merit permenant [sic]unfollowing.
While that would be pretty funny, let’s not be petty on Twitter. I think we have enough of that in real life. Don’t you?
Be warned that Twitter Snooze sends out an email to the user when you stop ignoring them (follow/unfollow effect). So, if you don’t want them to know, I suggest moving on. Also, your passwords are stored in their database, though they are deleted when they are no longer needed (when is that?).
