We set up a Twitter itself: how to disable all of the features that annoy you

Twitter, of course, very useful and convenient social network. But, as in any social network, it has a lot of annoying, very often completely unnecessary features. To learn how to turn them off and set up Twitter for yourself, you will learn from this article.

Twitter - favorite social network of millions of people. Second violin in the network after a valiant Facebook. But, despite this popularity, Twitter still remains a lot of features that can annoy users. Today we'll show you how to set up a Twitter itself and get rid of unnecessary notifications, emails and more.

Turn off any unnecessary notifications

For reasons that are not clear to most users, Twitter has included notification that the majority of people do not need them. Here are a few types of notifications:

• Person X expresses his opinion on the issue of such and such;
• three people added this tweet favorites;
• X, Y, and Z now read @ButtsMcButtpants.

None of the above is of interest to you. It is the lives of others, which in no way does not concern you. Of course, sometimes there are special cases where this information is in fact can be somehow useful to you, but for the most part these notifications only irritate.

Fortunately, you can disable them:

1. Go to the settings.
2. Click on your account.
3. Go to the notice.
4. Remove the checkmark from the "Recommendations", "News", "Other".

The problem with the notification that the user is not always clear what is behind some of them. Who can, for example, clearly say that this is a meaningful "Other"? However, you can turn off any notifications that do not feel the need.

Reduce the number of notifications and news, you may need

Notifications in Twitter (excluding those meaningless, which we discussed above) are quite varied. You can get notified, for example, that someone has mentioned you in a tweet, I responded to your tweet or retvitnul your tweet. If you do not want to be aware of such events - just deselect these items.

Do not forget about the item "Especially for you". It means that the notifications you receive from only those accounts for which you are following. If you change this option to "anyone", you will be notified by absolutely all the accounts mentioned You tweet, or tweet your retvitnuli, or do something else that is in some way connected with your tweets and your account.

Do not forget about such useful function as lists.

If you, for example, it is interesting to follow the news of an account, but you do not want it Fallaway, feel free to add it to the list. Lists help relieve your RSS feed (news from the accounts on the list do not appear in the general news section). Lists are of two types: open (all users will be available to the list) and closed (the list will be visible only to you).

For example, I use lists to keep track of news accounts, which published poems of contemporary poets. My news feed on a daily basis is not clogged 30+ tweets I read this account when I'm comfortable - two or three times a week.

Filter the emails that you get from Twitter

Twitter likes to remind you that it exists, even if you already use them often enough. Although most of us there is absolutely no need to get a reminder on email, Twitter still send you a daily digest, in which will tell you what's new, it notifies you of who you are now reading, and prompts you to go back, if you have not visited Twitter.

This you can safely turned off by going to the menu "Settings" - "Email Notification".

Of course, if you are using the Google-mail, you can use Gmail filters. Twitter uses two primary e-mail to send messages:

• [email protected]: This address is used to notify you that you have new followers, or posts. it can be useful sometimes, and sometimes it is quite superfluous information. You decide.
• [email protected]: from this address you often send news and advertising accounts, for which you can follow.

Letters from Twitter to e-mail may be helpful, but if you do not need to disable this feature. In the end, you can go to Twitter and find out for yourself what's new, and it is not necessary to remind you of this by e-mail.

Stop for a while to receive news from annoying people

Service Mute Tweets It allows you to temporarily unable to receive news from the accounts, which, in your opinion, clog your news feed. Service will block the account without canceling your subscription to it.

You can even specify a certain period of time, during which you do not want to follow the account. But there is one drawback: when you again want to receive news on your account, the notification will come to him. Although, if the account a public figure or a famous musician, it is unlikely that he did pay attention to it. :)

TweetDeck - Twitter Client helpful

TweetDeck - is a free official Twitter client. With it, you can simplify your work a lot with Twitter, here are some of the features TweetDeck:

• multi-column user interface;
• Simultaneous Multiple Twitter-accounts;
• real-time update of the results of searches in a separate column.

TweetDeck can be superfluous for fans who check Twitter once a day or so. But that's for those who actively use Twitter in their professional work, it is a very useful program.

On Twitter, a lot of annoying features, but do not forget that you can always set up this service for themselves.
