Remains of the Day: Twitter to Let You Mute Specific Words
Source: Life Hacker
Twitter will soon be adding the ability to mute tweets that include words of your choice. Its presumably an effort to curb harassment on the siteassuming you can mute messages that are directed at youbut could also just be a way to avoid spoilers and annoying conversations. That and more in todays news.
Some Twitter users on iOS briefly had access to the muted words feature, but its still in development and apparently wasnt intended to be deployed yet. Instagram recently launched a similar feature alongside a filter to block abusive comments automatically. [The Next Web]

If it works as well as auto-trash by keyword on DU, it will prove to be an excellent tool!
