Talk to the hand

December 20th, 2009

Twitter is an awesome place. Once you’ve made a few friends, your timeline gets filled with all kinds of interesting conversations as you make connections, brainstorm creative themes, and post cool links to share with others. It’s easy to get stressed if you try to keep up as your timeline refreshes with hundreds of tweets every minute.

Some people find this overwhelming, especially when seeing tweets from people that rather not talk to.

If only twitter had tools to deal with problems like this. It could be something as easy as allowing users to not follow people they don’t like. Or, maybe, if twitter is working correctly (and that is the key), they could put in some kind of button to block the offender, so they never have to hear from them again. That would be sweet.

Now that we think about it, it probably wouldn’t work. Some people wouldn’t find clicking a block button to be final enough. Luckily for them, they can still get satisfaction from having the last word.

No, you shut up.
