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.
The rapist's timeline is to be on review, for all the world to see!
Fuck twitter. Twitter is a bunch of N1GGER lovers.
Good. Algorithmic timelines are shit.
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.

My first name and last two initials flipped to make it sound more techy. When I first started making tech videos, everyone thought I was copying @MKBHD. I certainly got some inspiration from him, but there’s more to it than just “high definition.”

Prior to "BeauHD," it was "HowToAndMore" because I was obsessed with making how-to videos for them views (not many people were making tutorials at the time.) The "More" opened the door for other content... But in the end, it's not a very personal handle so I changed it.

I also realized that I actually really liked technology and consumer electronics in particular. So I started making product reviews... and the rest was history.
Everything. In Order. Yay.

Could you idiots and trolls ever shut up for even one minute. You're an angry demonratloser and tour pharma cut has affected ou. Oh wait...sorry youre all rich..sure l. We get it. You believe in open borders and "illegals first".
Enjoy the tailored blue tweets you see when you log in but don't forget mine are red and I don't give a crap how rodents like you think. Bring November
Ok. So a 36 year old erroneous and Ill timed accusation about what may be considered groping is now rape..
Go back to the nursery sjw loser. You are a long way out of your depth.
This shit don't reach that :D
I just logged into Twitter to uncheck this new setting because OF COURSE I WOULD... and they actually have it already unchecked by default!
You get a rare “Kudos!” From me today, Twitter.

Maybe people who have been using Twitter from the start have managed to follow the changes to how things are presented. For those of us who just occasionally click a link that lands us in the service, it's simply a mess. Tweets seems to be vaguely chronological, but only vaguely. There's simply no obvious way to know what has been selected for your viewing pleasure, and what has been omitted. And this doesn't even get into the whole question of censorship.
Enjoy life! This is not a dress rehearsal.
Pretty excited that http://realtwitter.com/ gets the shout-out in this post (see this tweet for background information). Also excited that Twitter decided to implement this functionality for real.
Why should any of us care about some dumb social media site for brain-damaged teenage girls and homos?
Ah, right their advertising dollars. "Follow Slashdot on Twitter - because having our own web site sux!"
It was reported that autism was the reason for the change.
I always click on see this less often, yet it's always there regardless. It trained me to stop going there. Maybe I'll be less annoyed with future visits.
This is how it always should have worked. It would have still worked this way if not for bone-headed design ideas. Its not so much trying to improve as it is walking back a bunch of terrible ideas.
The sad part is other sites like Facebook don't even give you this option. Who the hell is designing these social media sites? I hate hate hate hate this "you'll do things our way and you'll like it" mentality. Give me options. Give me choice. Give me freedom.
