Make your Twitter stream less noisy
When you start to follow more than just a few people you might find that your stream of tweets becomes overwhelming. One of the reasons for this is that, by default, Twitter shows you all of the public replies that your followers send to other people. This can lead to you seeing half conversations, which mean little to you. You can change this option, within your Twitter account settings. Here’s how:
Log in to Twitter and click on settings:
Click on settings in your Twitter account
Click to the notices tab, where you will find three options in the drop-down menu:
The options for @ replies
You can choose to see:
- all @ replies – this is where you end up seeing one side of conversations
- @ replies to the people I’m following – this means that you will only see @ replies where you are following both parties
- no @ replies – this options means you will never see public replies (unless they are addressed to you)
Experiment with the settings and see which suit you best.
