“Getting geeky with Twitterrific”
You wouldn’t know it, because the Iconfactory is all about teh pretty and not that much about teh usability, but if you’re using Twitterific on your Mac you can filter tweets… by setting a preference through Terminal. Guess they haven’t got around to creating an interface to handle those preferences yet, which is a shame, because filtering some tags becomes more and more essential to surviving Twitter.
For instance, this seems to work, filtering out the weekly avalanche of tweets about the French version of Pop Idol:
defaults write com.iconfactory.Twitterrific tweetTextFilter -string "#(NS|ns|nouvellestar)"
Next time I open Terminal it will probably be to filter out all tags. (In case you had doubts, it’s a regexp.)
Oh, and twitpic.com.
And maybe even http.
Want to know when I post new content to my blog?

We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
