Twitter Is Reviving the Chronological Timeline (engadget.com)

In a series of tweets, Twitter announced it will be bringing back the purely chronological timeline in the coming weeks. Currently, the timeline is set up to deliver tweets that people "might have missed" or things supposedly "liked" by people they follow, but some have complained that it misses tweets. Engadget reports: A change that's in place now, is Twitter's "Show the best Tweets first" setting. Starting today, if a user has it turned off it will also eliminate the "In case you missed it" roundups and suggested tweets from people you don't follow. It sounds like exactly the change people have been looking for, and even pursued by setting up filters on their own like the one found at RealTwitter.com.

Feature was horrible

[SuperKendall]

The most egregious aspect of the "tweets you might have missed" section was that almost always it was TWEETS I HAD ALREADY SEEN!!!!

I might have even left on that feature, if it simply removed any tweet I had already loaded from the server. Having a bunch of tweets I had already seen first masked the newer tweets I might actually have wanted to see.

I have no faith that Twitter can get anything right so I turned that checkmark right off. Just show me a simple timeline Twitter, if you can handle it.
