Halftime

I don't know why on earth would somebody do this. But my friends @tehranix & @par_ham just did. If you are for some unbelievable reason did not enjoy Van Persie and Robben goals against Spain, just follow the link.

My buddy @ZackShapiro built Silencer, a Chrome Extension to hide tweets and Facebook posts that contain certain keywords, exactly for this use case.

Thanks for posting this @nikitakorotaev :) We love football but got annoyed with our timelines being overcome by football (& soccer :p) commentary, so we built it yesterday. Events like the world cup show the need for twitter to provide better filtering options. It's built on top of "Open Tweet Filter" https://github.com/rstuven/OpenT... Silencer looks great! There's definitely a need for better filtering on social media.

wish there was a way to do this on tweetbot and facebook

@OurielOhayon I thought they did for tweetbot. Probably just hashtags though.

Thank you.

So ungrateful - Twitter breaking their back to keep in touch with the WC and you just throw it right back :P
