I don't think I'm usually very dense, but I just don't get the point of Shuush which is a Twitter app. Log in and it'll show you a feed of the tweets from people that you follow. The more they post, the smaller the text, to the point where you can't even read it! The people who post less have a much larger font size. They say of themselves "Shuush is a prototype web based Twitter reader that ranks your followers on frequency of tweets. It aims to amplify the people that don't usually get heard, and scale back those with frequent updates"
Consequently they're so missing the point that they really don't get it at all. On Twitter, everyone in my stream is equal. I follow them all, and I'm interested in what they say. Simply because someone doesn't tweet much, or tweets a lot is neither here nor there - they're all interesting. Downplaying some tweets and upplaying others simply doesn't work - paticularly as you can't actually respond or do anything except look at them. Consequently it's not even a functioning client.
If for some reason you don't want to listen to someone, you can mute them on resources like Echofon or Brizzly for example. I'm afraid that this app is a total waste of time.
