Enhancement request : use buddy list to show/filter tweets from individuals

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Really appreciate how well this works.

Would like functionality (similar to tweetdeck?) where people you follow
can be grouped/sorted - but not filtered - so different windows show
different Twitter updates

Use case 1: 
Add "buddy" buzzter so that new tweets from buzzter appear in a specific IM
window
optionally, adding a buddy using twitter protocol follows them?

Use case 2 (might be harder)
Create group called "blogs" with the blog updates you're following
All updates from twitterers in that group appear in a specific "blogs" windo

seconded...I just tried out tweetdeck as it was recommended and I love the 
grouping
function. Would be great if this had that ability because the only thing I dont 
like
about this plugin is the fact that I can filter like I want as I prefer groups 
for
"people I want to see what they say" and "people I really dont give a f*ck". If 
it
had that I'd be content. :)

TweetDeck is great but I would rather it be like pidgindeck :) I just prefer to 
run
as little of programs as I possibly can.

I was going to suggest something like this. I was wondering whether this could 
be 
combined with the "direct message in IM" feature to make it work somewhat like 
IRC.

What I mean is the user could define "channels" which are groups of "followed 
people" and have those people's tweets replicated in the corresponding channel. 
Then 
it would make sense if a "direct message" conversation with someone worked like 
a PM 
in IRC.

I think I saw something earlier which implies that this is already kind of 
possible 
for "replies" and "public timeline" to be displayed alongside the default view.

Certainly would love a feature like this, to group various messages into 
seperate IM
windows, acting much like different IRC channels do now (and perhaps in place 
of a
connected user list down the side, a list of people you're following so it's 
easy to
filter which ones appear in it)

Honestly, I'm torn. TweetDeck only bothers to get the last 100 messages for 
you, but
offers easy filtering of messages into groups. Twitgin will get /all/ replies, 
up to
your defined limit, but doesn't allow you to filter into groups. If the plugin 
gained
that functionality, then I'd never use anything ever again for Twitter.
