You are deeply incorrect about that, and the attachment to chronological timelines is probably what doomed Twitter for so long.
I absolutely want a relevant timeline. So do most people. Most people don't want to spend all day glued to Twitter to keep up with ongoing conversations. They want to be able to quickly open it and find content which intrigues them and doesn't confuse them.
Twitter listening too much to power users for years and years is what kept them from building products the masses could love.
It's insane to me that people on HN think chronological timelines are good. Should I have to read hundreds or thousands of posts a day (which is definitely how much content my friends produce) just to find the 5 or 6 which matter to me. Why wouldn't I want a machine to do that sorting for me?
