Hatesquare for Seesmic and Hootsuite, Hootsuite Ad Blocker

tomo — Wed, 11 May 2011 05:21:26 +0000

Since I mostly use Hootsuite and Seesmic for reading my Twitter timeline (the other big reader, TweetDeck, won't connect to both Twitter and Facebook in either it's Chrome app or desktop versions), I've updated h8sq: the 4sq killer to work on those clients.

This also includes performance enhancements for the Twitter.com version.

Furthermore, if you open your Chrome Developer JavaScript console, you will see log messages for each hated on FourSquare tweet like so:

"hated on tomosaigon"

Do you find Hootsuite's "Promoted Tweets" distracting? I've also hacked together an ad blocker for Hootsuite. Rather, it should be called an ad blacker, as it blacks out the ad but still makes it clear who is spamming you, and you can still read the full ad by mousing over it.

Future For Foursquare

Foursquare is a way for people to advertise to advertisers, Twitter "friends", and everyone else the fact that you're willing to be advertised to. That is, you spam to be spammed. It's basically awesome for marketers.

h8sq: The 4sq Killer for Twitter

Tired of Foursquare, Inc. spamming your Twitter? Could you care less that someone goes somewhere so often they become its "mayor"?

Take back your Twitter feed with h8sq, a plugin/extension for the Google Chrome
browser which will:

Remove annoying tweets like "I'm at McDonalds. http://4sq.com/stupid
Remove annoying tweets like "I just became the mayor of McDonalds! http://4sq.com/stupid"
Remove annoying tweets like "I just unlocked the Douche badge! http://4sq.com/stupid"
Remove annoying tweets like "I just ousted So-and-so ..." (new)

It will leave alone tweets that have been personalized or merely mention 4sq.

If you run chrome just install the attached script, which should also work with Opera and with Firefox via Greasemonkey.

Install h8sq for Chrome (and maybe other browsers)

UPDATE: Now works on Twitter.com, Seesmic.com, and Hootsuite.com!
