Comment 8 for bug 345966

There are users whose updates I wish to see, so I follow them, but they're so prolific that they drown out other less prolific users who I also wish to keep up-to-date with. Another use case is for users who I wish to separate out in order to reduce the risk of missing tweets from them. I currently use a feed reader for the latter but would prefer to do it in real time, in my normal SM client with all the options for interaction that that client is optimised to provide.

Ideally, I would like to be able to separate out my incoming stream into channels, comprised of either a single user, as originally suggested here, or groups of users. And also to be able to view more than one channel at a time.
