HOW TO: Filter Tweets And Facebook Updates
Written by Pradeep Kumar in Guides - Print This Post
Today Social Media is used for, well, almost anything and everything. Particularly Twitter and Facebook. Today I thought of sharing some useful stuffs related to them. Below I mentioned two useful scripts — Filter Tweets (script for filtering tweets) and Filter FB Updates (script for filtering Facebook updates). You can use these scripts for filtering specific topic.
Using Greasemonkey you can use these scripts. It is an extension for Mozilla Firefox, an open source Web Browser and I recommend you to use the latest version of the browser. Most userscripts are written for Mozilla Firefox & Greasemonkey alone. But there are some scripts which works in Opera, Safari and even Internet Explorer too. These scripts are developed by @varunkumar.
#1 – Filter Tweets : Filter Tweets is a script for filtering tweets about a specific topic. Works only with the new Twitter version.
Features of Filter Tweets
- Filter out a person
- Filter out keywords
- Remove hyperlinks
- Filtered count indicator
- Remembering the filter settings
#2 – Filter FB updates : Filter Facebook Updates is a script for filtering Facebook updates about a specific topic.
Features of Filter FB Updates
- Filter out topics
- Filtered count indicator
- Remember your settings
Do tell me which script you found the most useful and also share your opinions below as comments.
Damn Good Feature, Very Useful to search old posts instead of scrolling them for months.

Nice Share. But Hard Luck for Google Chrome users.
Oh what a great rescue! The one with Twitter will be of more use to me. Thanks for letting people know about this. Lucky me that I am using Firefox
Awesome. I will install this right away. As I need this badly
Great that after Gmail now i can filter my home of FB too but unfortunately its not available for my Chrome. Now this is the moment i can say Firefox is important.
cool feature
but i don’t have any of the options in my fb or twitter :-/
i did not get that filter tab… on facebook
Greasemonkey .JS scripts do work on Chrome. Just checked with Filter Tweets.
Really Wonderful inputs. Now a days We must need this kind of filtering as we are getting so many updates. Thx for sharing this wonderful inputs.
yeah me too..
didnt find the flter tab.
Can you please help…
Another way is to make a Twitter List or Facebook Friends List
so no need for third party applications..
@ Karan, Vicky, and Vinayak : It worked for me. If you have any issues with this, you can ping the guy behind these scripts : http://twitter.com/varunkumar Cheers.
