Do you ever get a little overwhelmed by all the tweets coming at you at once?Get frustrated that when so many of them don't seem to interest you?
Well, I found a cool tool called Tweetizen that allows you to form Twitter groups based on relationship (family or friends) or areas of interest (parenting, cooking, politics), etc.
It's very easy to use:
1.) Log in to Tweetizen using your Twitter username and password.
2.) Click on the "Create a Group" button.
3.) Choose a name for your group.
4.) You can then type in keywords to filter the kind the tweets you want to see in your group. Then only those tweets will show up when you click on each group.
5.) You can even Share or Embed your new group.
It's just another way to make your Twitter experience more customized and to interact with people who share your same interests -- which is what social networking is all about!

What a GREAT tip! I just haven't had time to deal with the group option at Twitter - seems like it takes more time than I can handle. But this sounds like it might be quicker and easier.
I'm off to play and learn with grand-twins and grand-big-bro today (can you tell it's TWINSTOCK this month :) ), but later tonight I'll do more tweets AND try to check on this - else add it to my tomorrow's to do list. Thanks so much! :)
Wow Melinda - you have found another new resource. I never heard of this and think it would be a great benefit. Thanks!
Oooh. Sounds quick and easy...and painless even for the technologically challenged! ;-) Being able to share your group or embed it (on your blog maybe) sounds awesome too!
Very cool little tool. Hadn't heard of it before. I'm going to have to check it out and see how it will work for me!
Thank you.
