Twitter Is Testing A Tool That Will Let You Mute People You Follow

So you can finally ignore all your colleagues you feel obligated to follow.

The feature is one of the most-requested on the site, according to The Verge, who first reported the feature, and will be available for a limited set of users on both the iOS and Android devices.

The ability to mute users is reportedly one of the more popular tools on apps such as Tweetdeck. Once a user is muted, their tweets would no longer appear until they are manually unmuted.

There are a number of examples when the feature could be specifically useful: 1) When you have to follow a colleague because it's rude not to; 2) When people incessantly live-tweet a sports match or TV show.
