PenaltyBlox

When following is too much, but unfollowing is too harsh.

What is PenaltyBlox?

PenaltyBlox is a Chrome extension that allows you to easily mute and silence accounts on Twitter that you follow. You can put them in the penalty box where they will be silenced and feel shame, and release them when you have deemed their sins absolved.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Whether it is a designer ultra-tweeting about some conference she is at or a venture capitalist intensely describing his pursuit of the always-elusive "inbox zero", sometimes you just want to mute someone you follow on Twitter. This extensions allows you to do just that. You can easily put accounts that you follow and hashtags that you wish would go away in the penalty box, where they will be silenced and feel shame. When you have deemed their sins absolved, you can let them out, free to fill your Twitter stream again.

User reviews

Amazing. Thank you Jeff Iacono for creating this extension. There are so many of them out there and yet they're all garbage and don't work. This one is absolutely perfect and simple. Very much appreciated.

I really, really want to like this app like everyone else, but it's just not working? I've uninstalled and re-installed, relaunched and updated Chrome, restarted my computer, etc., but nothing! Help? :(

This app is everything I could hope for! Except for the fact that it seems to work intermittently. I've found that it works for about a day, and then doesn't for 3 or 4 before it works again for another day. But when it works, it's perfect!
