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. It’s presumably an effort to curb harassment on the site—assuming you can mute messages that are directed at you—but could also just be a way to avoid spoilers and annoying conversations. That and more in today’s news.
Some Twitter users on iOS briefly had access to the ‘muted words’ feature, but it’s still in development and apparently wasn’t 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!
