Tweequalizer: I #WANT a graphic equalizer for Twitter (@mahemoff would this do the job?)

All the Twitter clients just show your whole stream in various different ways. I want a way to filter tweets while still giving a sense of randomness... and a graphic equalizer interface is the way to do it.

As you adjust the knobs, the Tweequalizer application hides the tweets that aren't a good fit for your needs.

If you just want Tweets from your close contacts, adjust the sliders so you are looking at people who follow few and are followed by few people. There could also be a slider for "people who reply to you".

If you want the goss on trending topics, ramp up the "trending" slider. If you don't, sling it down.

Want to see the latest from Twitter celebrities? Ramp the "lots of followers" and "RT'd a lot" up.

You could also have a VOLUME control -- turn the volume low and the filter is applied strongly. Turn it up and most tweets are displayed, even if they don't fit the filters you've set up.

Why hasn't anybody built this? It would be a REAL innovation in Twitter clients, especially for heavy users.

Interesting idea. Similar to something that was (or still is) available on FaceBook.

Yeah that sort of thing. It makes more sense on Twitter, where the content of Tweets is more important than your relationships with the people.
