Title: Additional Functionality: Mute and Unmute

This allows the user to clean their feed of thousands of unwanted tweets without having to remove any followers.

The mute functionality just hides someones tweets from appearing in the main 'feed' of the person who muted them. It does not mean said muted person cannot interact with the user, they can still favorite, reply and retweet the users tweets. The user will still be able to see this in their notifications area, however they will not receive push notifications or SMS notifications.

There is also the option to include user ID's within the code of users that you do not wish to be muted or unmuted.

I believe there may be a Twitter limit of 250 mutes at a time although I'm not sure of the duration in which this limit will reset.
