I tried to follow the news from the in-person CES 2022 conference in Las Vegas this week using the hashtag #CES2022 on Twitter. But there was so much misuse of the hashtag that it made the show hard to follow.
Many Twitter users were attaching #CES2022 to photos and videos of things that weren’t at the show. Much of the misuse of the hashtag was by individuals trying to game the platform for clicks or to increase their influencer ranking.
Twitter should add tools to its search function to mute specific people quickly and easily and remember those filters for future searches.
A way to exclude posts by language would be another good filter. CES is an international event and there were a lot of #CES2022 posts in French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and other languages that I can’t read. (Update: Twitter has this feature, but you have to click on search settings and use the Advanced Search field.) An automated translation feature would be nice.
Or how about the ability to read tweets posted only by people in a certain area, such as Las Vegas, Paradise and Winchester, Nevada? That way you’d know when people were posting on site.
