ie US based tweets about Football likely start rising right about now as training camps open and end around the Super Bowl in Feb. But the rest of the English speaking world would tweet about a very different Football on a different schedule (what we in the US call soccer) Further many tweets about football (of either type) wouldn't include Football anywhere - would refer to a specific team (The Bears, ManU, Hull, 49ers etc) or to players or coaches or to a league or competition (worldcup, superbowl, afc etc) Shannon Sent from my iPhone On Aug 9, 2009, at 7:39 AM, "Dean Collins" <d...@cognation.net> wrote: > > Hi Georg, you might like to check out www.LiveFootballChat.com after > Sept 10th then. > > It's going to be the same as www.LiveBaseballChat.com > > > > > Regards, > Dean Collins > Live Chat Concepts Inc > d...@livechatconcepts.com > +1-212-203-4357 New York > +61-2-9016-5642 (Sydney in-dial). > +44-20-3129-6001 (London in-dial). > > -----Original Message----- > From: twitter-development-talk@googlegroups.com [mailto:twitter- > development-t...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Shannon Clark > Sent: Sunday, August 09, 2009 10:28 AM > To: twitter-development-talk@googlegroups.com > Subject: [twitter-dev] Re: [Feature Request] Hiding certain Hashtags > > > I, for one, don't think such a feature should be via Twitter directly. > > What I do think would be valuable would be an ability (which may > already be present I haven't dug too deeply) to filter by APP. ie to > get all updates from a given app OR to exclude based on app. For > example this would allow you to quickly and easily remove all updates > from PlaySpymaster or other games using Twitter. > > Once most apps use Oauth each app will have a unique ID so this type > of filtering could add greater value. > > Many many people do not use hashtags I know I very rarely use them but > I do use a range of apps (directly or via oauth) and there are apps > esp ones I'm not using (games mostly) I could see value from filtering > out of my main Twitter views. > > Shannon > > Sent from my iPhone > > On Aug 9, 2009, at 7:18 AM, georg mahr <mahrge...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> >> Hi, >> >> what do you guys think about a feature making it possible to hide >> certain hashtags? >> >> I came across this idea, when the new football season began.
