I don't disagree with any of your points. I just disagree with the assumption that twitter frontend is something static with no time-related components.

- vidarh 13y agoThe frontend should be. It is folly to handle things like the timeline update there, where it is time sensitive, rather than as a backend process that is not - nobody will notice if their timeline is a few seconds out of date. They will notice if it takes more time for the pageload to complete.
