Comments on: friendFilter Enters the Follower Fray http://www.twitterrati.com/2009/03/23/friendfilter-enters-the-follower-fray/ The World of Twitter and Microblogging Wed, 28 Jul 2010 00:17:37 +0000 hourly 1 By: Rodger Banister http://www.twitterrati.com/2009/03/23/friendfilter-enters-the-follower-fray/comment-page-1/#comment-1220 Rodger Banister Tue, 24 Mar 2009 14:17:27 +0000 http://www.twitterrati.com/2009/03/23/friendfilter-enters-the-follower-fray/#comment-1220 Thanks for the info, Mark. Have you heard of a filter that allows you to receive select updates from your followers (other than on mobile)? It seems that protocol is that you follow anyone who follows you. But if I did that I'd never be able to look at useful posts from people I want updates from because a rush of non-useful ones would come through at a million miles an hour. I recently posted an article about 3 things Twitter could do to improve my experience - <a href="http://tiny.cc/kqYCp" target="_blank">http://tiny.cc/kqYCp</a> - are any of these things in the works?

But like anything, I KNOW there will be issues. Friendfilter can work by itself as an email service, so that is why we separated the two names. We have around 500 new users in the last 36 hours, and so far, most sign in issues were resolved by clicking 'sign out' (which clears cache) on twittfilter or in rare occasions clearing cache on IE7 manually. If you are still having issues, please let me know. That is the only way I can fix 'em. :) Christopher Yes, Twittfilter is alpha, but "as far as I know" everything is working well enough.

The link you have goes to the signup page, which gives no indication of this status, but the resulting place to login is a largely broken page with links that aren't functional and "alpha" all over it. It isn't very clear what is expected when logging in, and I got a number of conflicting status/error messages when it tried to create my file. Still not sure if it worked or how to confirm, which has me a bit concerned.

I may try FriendFilter instead, though, because of the amount of checking it does for relevance and network overlap.
