Sort of OT: If you’re a Mac user, I highly recommend the utility Keyboard Maestro. I just used it to set up a hot key macro that goes through all the steps needed to add the Twitter username of someone who’s being abusive or stupid to Tweetdeck’s “Global Filter.” Now I can just type Control-Option-F, and I never see anything from them again.
Comes in very handy when Andrew Breitbart calls out his army of pinhead followers to flood the Twitter stream with insults.
