Hibari: minimalistic tweeter client to filter tweets

Twitter becomes insanely popular social network, and the hype does not seem to pass. Many even refuse such things as RSS-aggregators, preferring to read the announcements of interesting articles on Twitter. It is therefore not surprising that an increasing number of customers for the social network.

One of the problems faced by "Twitterers" - this information noise. Often fellow followers are beginning to not only publish and automatically traslirovat status of other services. For example, a lot of post statuses of the Foursquare, links to your favorite video on YouTube, the number of kilometers, which ran in the morning ...

I have a few months ago dreamed of Twitter client with the ability to filter tweets. After all, if the e-mail programs allow you to automatically delete messages according to certain criteria, why it can not be on Twitter? :-) Since I myself am not a programmer, he shared his idea with several developers, but they said that this money does not earn.

On came the first Twitter client, which attempts to reduce the information noise last week. This is about

Hibari. The program has a minimalist user interface and can almost everything and competitors: displays pictures in a tape (not to be leave the app and navigate to the site to see them), retains search queries can display tweets and answers in the form of chains discussions.

But the main feature Hibari - a lock tweets. You can go to the program settings window, specify the text to block (for example, http://4sq.com) and then the program will filter tweets with these keywords. Goodbye 4sq., Gowalla, AlterGeo, as well as dull flash mobs.

Another interesting possibility Hibari - is "muted" noisy users. I think many people have encountered the situation where you add to buddylist real friend, colleague, or even superior, and then it turns out that Twitter he wrote uninteresting things - for example, translates the results of matches, sitting in front of screen. Unsubscribe - embarrassing: you do not want to offend anfollovingom. But also read - time to lose. In such a situation will help Hibari - the program can automatically hide tweets specific user. The next version promises the ability to specify, constantly it must do so, or only for a certain period (at the time of the tournament, conferences, etc.).

Hibari - a very young program, part of the required functionality is missing. For example, there is no support to work with multiple twitter accounts. Another serious drawback - you can not select a service for the automatic reference contraction. Finally, the main feature - tweets blocking - does not always work.

Generally, Hibari ($ 14) - the development of interesting and promising, we will follow the development of the project.
