I use TweetDeck to manage my Twitterverse (it’s a small “verse”). One unique feature of TweetDeck is the ability create groups of followers. This allows you to funnel your steam down to something manageable. Missing though, is the ability to see the tweets for all people you follow that are not in a group.

So, what you are left with is a group of high priority tweets to read, and another with the tweets for all people you follow. Lots of duplications. Not cool.

The other day I stumbled on a neat trick for removing the duplicate tweets from the All Friends column in TweetDeck.

In the picture above, you can see that I have a group called “A list”. These are the tweets I read first. Once I finish scanning the list, I click the Mark all as seen button at the bottom of the column. Then I clear the tweets by clicking the Clear seen tweets button immediately to the right. That gives me an empty A list column.

But, my All Friends column still contains the tweets that I just read and cleared. To fix that, all you have to do is click the Clear seen tweets button at the bottom of the All Friends column. Poof! A clean list of unread tweets from the non A list followers.
