Sometimes it’s very difficult to get the news or information you want out of Twitter, especially when you’re following hundreds of people or groups. Really, that much information just makes you want to skim, missing alot of content that you may, or may not find interesting. So how do you get rid of the “junk” you know you don’t care about without having to “unfollow” someone or groups?

TweetCaster has thought of that as well. The new feature of TweetCaster (version 2.6) now allows you to mute user, trend (#hashtag) or keyword. This can drastically reduce the amount of “junk” you may get in your feeds and timelines, thus making it easier to digest all that information coming to you from your follows.

Here’s a list of other features currently in TweetCaster for Android;

  • Zip It – zip annoying tweeters or trends from your timeline without unfollowing
  • Instapaper support – Save long stories to Instapaper to read later
  • Color code tweets – Choose a custom color for your tweets and @replies
  • Simultaneously post to Twitter and Facebook
  • Multiple Twitter account support
  • Multiple widgets
  • Retweet with or without comment
  • Twitlonger service
  • Conversation thread view
  • Twitter lists
  • Customized Twitter notifications

There is a Free version and a “pro” version for $3.99. the only difference is that the paid version has no ads. Take that for what you find it worth. Regardless, the “Zip-it” feature now in 2.6 is worth a try on your Android device. Scan the QR below, or click here for more information from our Apps database.
