What is algorithm-driven in my twitter feed? The 'While you were away' stuff at the top? Other than that, as far as I know it's always been a chronological feed

What is algorithm-driven in my twitter feed? The 'While you were away' stuff at the top? Other than that, as far as I know it's always been a chronological feed of whoever I want.
- gaius 10y agoAre you sure? http://fortune.com/2016/03/20/twitter-algorithm-social-marketing/ http://fortune.com/2016/03/20/twitter-algorithm-social-marke... If you don't even notice it, the algo has got you...
- tkxxx7 10y agoOh, wow. Does this effect third-party clients as well? I use Echofon almost exclusively.
- gaius 10y agoI can't imagine not - would Twitter give people an easy way to avoid sponsored content etc? That's one reason they cut off all the devs.
- msravi 10y agoWow, didn't know that either. But I don't "follow" people. Rather, I simply add them to different lists (finance, news, science, tech, right, left, etc.) and use tweetdeck to follow the multiple lists. I wonder if they're also messing with the lists... In any case, as far as I can tell, I seem to be getting all the tweets of people in the list in chronological order.
- tkxxx7 10y agothat's a good point too, I have a couple lists I look at for close friends and such and only go onto the timeline every now and then
