Twitter has added a new feature that allows you to limit replies to only those you follow, or only people you mention in the tweet — for each individual tweet.

This feature is useful if you want to limit your notifications, or if you just don't want a flood of arguments or advice that you know a certain tweet will bring. Now you can have more control over how you interact with online communities.
