[wishlist] It should be possible to mute (/ignore) specific people

[David Murphy]

It should be possible to mute specific contacts without having to unfollow them.

Not sure how related this is but I've noticed on Facebook that if I block someone showing up on my news feed, they still appear on Gwibber.

That may be a facebook thing as opposed to a gwibber thing though.

I don't think it's possible mute without unfollow until now, but maybe muuter [1] it's the service for this request. Here's the explanation of muuter that it's described on its Web:

"When you mute someone here on muuter, what really happens is this: 1) We save your request on our database 2) We send a command to Twitter so you stop following that person 3) When your set time passes, we send another command to Twitter so you start following that person again."

"There's no other way to do this as of July 5th, 2009. Believe us, we thought about this long and hard."

Cheers!

I too would like to have this feature added.
