I think it's a great idea for third party application.
In fact, I'm writing a Twitter API library for the CRM114 filter
language right now. The language includes not only regex matching
"/football/" but fuzzy regexps "/(football){~3}/" (football, within 3
characters) and learning/classifications with post-Bayesian filtering
algorithms. In other words, if people want to filter out content
containing the football tag that's easy to do with any programming
language - no new API call needed - but if people want to be able to
filter out (or in) content about Football - and have the filter
differentiate between American Football and what the rest of the world
knows as Football - then there are some interesting tools available
that will be just a little more accessible to the Twitter community
soon.
