‘Twitter unveils new timeline feature: what you need to know’ – Econsultancy
Patricio Robles says, “In an effort to improve the user experience, Twitter has unveiled a new timeline feature that will display tweets out of chronological order.
The aim is that users will avoid missing out on important updates from people they follow.
The feature, which launched Wednesday, is currently optional, but Twitter plans to roll it out as a default in the next few weeks.
Mike Jahr, a senior engineering manager at Twitter, explained how the feature works:
You flip on the feature in your settings; then when you open Twitter after being away for a while, the Tweets you’re most likely to care about will appear at the top of your timeline – still recent and in reverse chronological order. The rest of the Tweets will be displayed right underneath, also in reverse chronological order, as always”.
