TwitterIgnore

Script to let you ignore people in your recent Tweet list without removing them from your follow list. They'll still show up in any feeds and whatnot, but your main Twitter home screen will be devoid of their guff.

funDiva Christy: I've never seen Endless Tweets before but if I can find some time I'll have a look.

As for more than 5 ignorable usernames.. possibly, there's no real reason why there has to be any limit although the user interface I have in my head for this currently clashes with my Javascript abilities.

OK I'm trying this paired with Endless Tweets and it will ignore on 1st page but then doesn't, which is as I would expect. Is that too much work to get them to work together? (not really what you were after) And then I was gonna ask if you could add more fields, more than 5 you could ignore hehe

snowbear I did have to tweak the order, TwitIgnore, Endless, timeline

Hm, sorry, I should've been explicit:

On installing and viewing your Twitter home page, you need to go to the Greasemonkey menu in Firefox -> User Script Commands -> Edit Usernames. A dialog box will then appear to allow you to edit the Twitter names you want to ignore.

Well I've installed it . . . but it doesn't seem to do anything. I see no interface or changes at all on my twitter home page. :-(

Firefox 2.0.0.14
Greasemonkey 0.7.20080121.0

I and plenty of people I know love Twitter, but occasionally you'll get people who fill up your tweet list with all sorts of rubbish - temporarily or otherwise. This script lets you ignore them, but doesn't stop you following them permanently - thus avoiding any potential social awkwardness..

My browser JS sucks so I haven't bothered with any flashy UI. Maybe I'll find the time to make it a bit slicker.

You could comment on this script if you were logged in.
