TweetLater has just added a super new function, read below:

Nobody needs to tell you that direct message SPAM is ever increasing on Twitter. Just try and wade through your DM inbox on some days.

And TweetLater contributes to this problem~but now they are going to make their users life much better

We have just launched our brand-new integrated Direct Message Manager, where you can manage the DMs of all your Twitter accounts on one single page, in one integrated view.

From that page you can DM the senders, unfollow or block them, forward the DM to someone else, and more.

But even more powerful are the SPAM rules that you can define. The system will apply your rules every time you open or refresh your Direct Message Manager, and get rid of any unwanted DMs.

You can tell the system to just delete a DM when you mark it as SPAM, or delete it and unfollow the person, or delete it and block the person, etc.

Furthermore, you can also enter keyphrases that we must monitor. If someone sends you a DM that contains one of those keyphrases, we will automatically apply your SPAM rules to that DM.

In addition, you can also tell the system to look at what other TweetLater users think of person who sent you a DM. If someone else has already marked it as SPAM, you can tell us to automatically mark it as SPAM on all your Twitter accounts as well.

The Direct Message Manager is available to TweetLater Professional users (and those on the free trial of TweetLater Professional).

In keeping with our commitment, this powerful new feature comes at no additional charge.

You can access the Direct Message Manager by logging in to your TweetLater account, clicking the DMs menu tab, and then the DM Manager sub-menu tab.

I had read in several places that Twitter has recently imposed a limit of 1,000 new followings per day for your twitter account.  It makes sense they would and should do this, but until today I had not actually seen on Twitter itself where they described the whats and whys.

So for your pure edification I give you:

So meter back your Hummingbird and Twitter FriendAdder “Follows” to meet the new limits or the software will just sit there spinning its proverbial wheels.

If you are using DM Whacker, a free booklet that allow you to easily mass delete DMs, then you will need to update it as of 5/1/2009.

Something with the Twitter interface changed and resulted in required changes

Go Here to get the latest version.

If you already use DM Whacker, you need to delete the booklet marker and then re-drag the latest version from this page up to your bookmark toolbar.

That’s it.  Simple but necessary.  Watch this short video to see how to effectively use DM Whacker!
