TwitterSnooze
Why use TwitterSnooze…?
- It’s a good tool to avoid a blast of tweets from a conference you are not attending… just snooze the conference goers for a few days.
- 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 permanent unfollowing.
Who shouldn’t use TwitterSnooze…?
As Dave Winer points out, TwitterSnooze is not ideal because when a person is unsnoozed, Twitter will send them an email alerting that person that you are now following them again. This is an unfortunate side-effect of the only way I know to implement a “Snooze” feature (by unfollowing and then re-following a user) given the current API. If you don’t like your snoozers getting alert emails, then TwitterSnooze is not for you.
