This document discusses filtering Twitter noise using tools like TalkingPuffin and Scala. TalkingPuffin allows users to create compound filters containing tags, regular expressions, and lists to exclude noisy users, retweets, and sources like Foursquare. These filters are stored and can be shared. Scala is well-suited for building tools like TalkingPuffin that help control the noise on Twitter.
