Twitter unveils Instant Timeline
NY Times:
Over all, however, the quality of the instant timeline was so good that I was almost tempted to dump my regular Twitter account, where I follow more than 700 other accounts, probably one-third of which are no longer important to me.
That isn’t quite what Twitter has in mind. The company says the power of Twitter comes from fine-tuning it to follow the people and topics that you are most interested in.
The instant timeline has frequent reminders urging you to follow people, including one that stayed at the top of my feed for quite a while. It also has built-in tutorials at strategic points to explain concepts like direct messaging.
Interesting idea. I like that they’re trying to make it as easy as possible to sign up, while still urging people to customize the experience to their liking.
