Sometimes even the ideal in our Twitterati can break the unspoken twittettiquette and pollute what was once a beautiful arrangement of tweets with excessive twitterage. Or maybe they are just at a conference about turning door knobs with your teeth and you wish you could just tune them out while they rage on about the ideal way to fix a chipped tooth on the fly from a failed attempt. Or something like that.

Well TwitterSnooze! let’s you get back in touch with the Twitter you love by giving the people that are harshing your mellow a timeout and putting the zen back into your Twitter. Simply enter your username and password, the person you want to snooze, and how long you want them out of your hair for (between 1 and 30 days). The only real side effect is that they’ll get an e-mail update that they have been unfollowed, but you can have the fact that they’re merely being “snoozed” announced in your Twitter stream to avoid any confusion.
