“She said I should talk more about my cat; that people like that sort of thing here. I didn’t know I still had a cat. Explains a few things.”

“Is there some ‘particular’ reason why people are dragging their feet on this fix? This is something that really should have been a choice from day one, and it’s taken a year since it was reported for someone to even look at implementing an on/off setting? This seriously brings into question the competency of some Firefox developers.”

Filtering tweets in Twitterrific
Are you getting inundated with tweets for a conference you’re not attending or not interested in? Can’t stand retweets? If you use Twitterrific on Mac OS X, there is a little-known way to block tweets from appearing in your list by filtering on their content.
To filter tweets, simply open a Terminal window, and input the following:
defaults write com.iconfactory.Twitterrific tweetTextFilter -string '#someconf'(substituting what you want to filter on for #someconf inside the single quotes; for example, RT or retweeting). It’s also possible to filter on multiple things at the same time: just separate your different filters with a |.
(Twitterrific actually supports PCRE, but it’s not necessary to know anything about regular expressions to use it.)
