Mute Button For Twitter

Here’s another request for developers out there who like playing with Twitter’s API: a Mute Button.

Say I’m following someone who Tweets an inordinate number of times per day to the point of annoyance.  I don’t want to stop following them because every now and then they say something interesting, and it’d be kind of a rude thing to do.  I turned off the notifications so that I don’t get Tweets via texts from this person, but it’s not enough.  They still dominate my homepage.  I want a Mute Button that allows me to keep following them but only view their Tweets when I click on their profile.  Let’s get them off my homepage, but keep them accessible.  Anyone game?
