How can you block Foursquare and Paper.li tweets on Twitter timeline? Foursquare accounts automatically share every check in to followers on Twitter and Facebook. Foursquare tweets are annoying and no one wants to know or are interested in what you check-in.<\/p>\n

It is not possible for us to ask all foursquare users we are following to turn off sending every check-in to Facebook and twitter. Paper.li<\/a> updates on twitter also contributes to your anger, but here is how to\u00a0block foursquare and Paper.li tweets<\/strong> in your timeline.<\/p>\n

Block foursquare and Paper.li tweets<\/h2>\n

Install the Proxlet Chrome extension which works with Web Twitter. Proxlet allows you to mute users, filter or block tweets<\/strong>. We\u2019re using Proxlet to block Foursquare and\u00a0paper.li tweets.<\/p>\n

Install\u00a0Proxlet extension for Chrome and search for \u201c4sq.com\u201d in twitter search box. Foursquare tweets are shown by twitter, then click \u201cProxlet\u201d button and click\u00a0blockapp foursquare – <\/strong>that\u2019s it and the annoying foursquare tweets\u00a0will never appear in your timeline again\u00a0from on. Do\u00a0same for Paper.li also.<\/p>\n

\"Proxlet<\/p>\n

Another Twitter tool,\u00a0Slipstream also allows\u00a0to\u00a0hide and\u00a0filter tweets<\/strong>. Slipstream available for\u00a0Chrome as an extension.\u00a0Install\u00a0Slipstream for Chrome\u00a0and\u00a0search for \u201c4sq.com\u201d tweets from the search box, then select a tweet, click \u201cHide\u201d button below the tweet\u00a0and modify the tweet to\u00a0https:\/\/foursquare.com\/<\/span> and choose to block foursquare tweets in every timeline or home timeline. Then click \u201cHide\u201d and the filter\u00a0will be\u00a0created – Foursquare tweets won\u2019t appear from now on.<\/p>\n
