Simply enter your username and password, the person you want to snooze, and how long you want them out of your hair for (between 1 and 30 days). The only real side effect is that they’ll get an e-mail update that they have been unfollowed, but you can have the fact that they’re merely being “snoozed” announced in your Twitter stream to avoid any confusion.

Hit the snooze button on someone for a certain number of days by entering your Twitter username, password, and the person you want to snooze into the TwitterSnooze web site. Behind the scenes, TwitterSnooze actually unsubscribes you and then resubscribes you to that person (all the while storing your password in their database!) so your snoozee may get email notifications about your temporary leave. So be warned about those key details before you hit the snooze button—still, a great way to miss a conference or “live tweet” event you’re not interested in hearing about. TwitterSnooze!

From the TwitterSnooze webpage: <blockquote cite="http://twittersnooze.com/"> As Dave Winer points out, TwitterSnooze is not ideal because when a person is unsnoozed, Twitter will send them an email alerting that person that you are now following them again. This is an unfortunate side-effect of the only way I know to implement a "Snooze" feature (by unfollowing and then re-following a user) given the current API. If you don't like your snoozers getting alert emails, then TwitterSnooze is not for you.<cite> Actually, all the app does IS unfollow them, then refollow them at a the specified timer interval.

Add them back in with good behavior. You could also unfollow or even block them if they’re really misbehaving. Add them back in with good behavior.
