Twitter-owned Tweetdeck, arguably the most popular platform for social media users to manage the Twitter conversations, has released a set of column filters for both the Tweetdeck web and Chrome apps.
Twitter recently released content filters for search columns as well - part of its efforts to bring features and functionality of its AIR app to the Web.
Users will be able to show (match) or exclude specific words and phrases from an individual TweetDeck columns as well as choose to view only those Tweets (or retweets) that contain media (images or video). It's not difficult to see how improved filtering will make it easier to scan and find specific tweets or content within them.
