I like it but I have a policy to unfollow if they start to tweet about anything they don’t work in. So a programmer that talks about politics is going to be unfollowed. Also they have to consistently be able to educate me and not just say things I agree with.

Works pretty well. Main drawback is that it’s just singular focus nerds.

A drawback is that people don’t always seem charitable in their thoughts of why I choose to unfollow.

I guess I could just as easily follow their blogs instead of Twitter though.



Muting words related to political topics or the meme of the week can make a huge improvement in your Twitter timeline.

I’m bummed that Twitter limits the mute list to only 200 words. I’m maxed out and have to remove a word when I want to mute a new one.
