Maybe, but now logged-out users (or users without an account) cannot see more than the last few tweets on an account.
Twitter is a lot less open than it was two or three years ago, and while it's more public-by-default than Facebook, it's less public-by-default than Blogger was.
- ZanyProgrammer 10y agoWait, what? I don't have a Twitter account, but still follow several people's Twitter feeds. I've never had a problem seeing their full timeline.
- chimeracoder 10y agoMaybe they've changed it, or maybe it's for certain accounts, but I've definitely seen "Log in to view more" when scrolling down.
- pessimizer 10y agoI've never had a Twitter account, and I've never seen that.
- jessaustin 10y agoMaybe scroll down a bit further?
- ZanyProgrammer 10y agoI'm able to view mobile.twitter.com/joshtpm in desktop Safari, and without an account view at least his previous week's posts not logged in.
- pessimizer 10y agoI've gone back months/years on some accounts, on some lazy days. Maybe it's a desktop/mobile client thing; I'm not a twitter user, so I don't use twitter on my phone.
