Apps to help you avoid spoilers on Twitter

Silence the spoilers

It probably has happened to you. You missed the previous night's episode of some hit show (say, "Game of Thrones") and went on Twitter only to see people talking about so-and-so's horrible death. Spoiler alert, you plead! Well, never worry again with the Silencer app. The "spoiler shield" is a free extension for Google Chrome that allows you to eliminate words or phrases from your Twitter feed. You can download it in Google's Chrome Web store.
