While Twitter is a great tool for keeping up with breaking news, product updates and celebrity chatter, the more people you add, the more “noise” that you wind up trying to filter through to get to the stuff you want. Enter Hibari, the new Mac client for Twitter that lets you easily keep your tweet stream clutter-free.
On Tuesday, Laughing Squid introduced us to Hibari, the new kid on the Mac Twitter client block. The app is the work of developer Victoria Wang, and among Hibari’s many talents is the ability to include keyword blocking and a mute function to help keep your tweet stream clean. The stylish app also includes inline saved searches, inline images and inline conversations.
Hibari promises to “block tweets you don’t want to see based on keywords you choose,” and you can also block all retweets (how many times have you wanted to do that?). When certain tweeters go off on a tangent about something you’re not interested in, you have the option to “mute” them temporarily, rather than having to unfollow them altogether.
Promising “the cleanest tweet stream,” Hibari 1.0 is available for download as a free 14-day trial with an introductory price of only $14. It requires Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
