How To Create Your Own Custom Stream Filtering Rules in Bottlenose:
The screenshot in this post illustrates how we keep up with what the world is saying about Bottlenose — it’s the rule for our Bottlenose stream in our dashboards. You can make rules like this too, to track your brand or interests.
Every stream in Bottlenose is powered by a rule. Default streams (such as in the main folder) cannot be edited. But streams in your Tracked folder, for example, can be. 
Select a stream in your Tracked folder (by clicking it in the left column, so that its messages appear). Notice that there is a little gear icon next to the name of the stream? Click the gear to see the Stream rule.
You can edit these rules and any new messages that come in will then be filtered by the rule.
You can make custom rules from scratch by going to the Add Streams panel, and clicking Bottlenose, and the Custom Stream.
You can read more about this in the Tutorial (accessible via Help).
