Tweet Library filters
John Chandler wrote a nice post on the filters he uses in various Twitter apps. Here's a clever one for "you missed it":
"I try to limit how many people I follow so I can read most of what they say. So, if they preface a tweet with something like 'If you missed it,' or 'In case you missed it,' I probably didn't."
As I mentioned in the comments, I have a few filters I like too, such as filtering out all old-style RTs. I even experimented with filtering out all hashtags. It's great when I want to completely un-clutter the timeline of gimmicky tweets, but I can keep the filter toggled off when I have more time to read.
The advantage of how I built filters in Tweet Library is that they are dynamic collections inside the app, kind of like smart playlists in iTunes. This means while it filters the junk out of my timeline, I can still occasionally go and review what it filtered out.
(I just submitted Tweet Library 1.2.1 to the App Store with a handful of bug fixes. Hopefully it'll be approved soon.)
