That's probably what's surprised me the most. I've actually ended up enjoying Twitter more since switching. It's likely far from perfect, but it's good enough for me. Now I start at the top and trust in the algorithm to show me the best of my timeline. Previously, I would worry that I was missing out on interesting content as I jumped to the top of the timeline. Twitter trok eerder al de toegang in van specifieke ontwikkelaars, waardoor populaire Twitter-apps zoals Tweetbot en Twitterrific ineens stopten met werken. I keep the accounts with interesting "promoted" tweets, in case they advertise something nice in the future, but I mute everything that's annoying.Ī side effect of starting at the top is that I don't have the same fear of missing out anymore. That keeps them away from the timeline in the future. I also learned that you can remove annoying "promoted" tweets, by muting the tweet's account. I actually prefer having the conversations automatically organised. While I disliked them when scrolling from the bottom, old-school style, they're really nice when scrolling from the top. With conversations ordered from top to bottom, they're a lot easier to read when scrolling from the top. It's convinced me that it's actually useful. I have, in fact, seen tweets in In case you missed it multiple times that I know I wouldn't have seen otherwise. I'm now able to jump on Twitter, spend a couple of minutes scrolling down my timeline and actually feel like it was worth it. It's not perfect, but it's better than scrolling through over 1000 tweets. It let's me get a glimpse at some of the interesting things that's happened since I last was on Twitter. I've come to really like In case you missed it. These feature are not new to the Twitter app, but as a recent convert, they're new to me. ![]() But the Twitter app has added a few feature which makes this not only possible, but better than what I was doing before. In the old days that didn't make sense as everything I read was in reverse order. I always start at the top and scroll downwards. ![]() At some point I'd have to give in and jump to the top of the timeline, just to keep up. Despite that, I've been doing what I've always done: start at the tweet where I left off last time and make my way to the top. I follow too many people to do that, and I don't want to spend that much time on Twitter. Way back, when I first joined Twitter, I read everything everyone I followed tweeted. I've been using Twitter old-school style, and I don't think that's possible anymore. To get there however, I've had to change the way I use Twitter. In case you missed it shows tweets out of order, conversations are ordered in reverse order from the rest of the timeline and "promoted" tweets pops up all over the place.Īfter using the official Twitter app for about a week, I'm finally starting to get into the groove. In my earlier attempts at using the official Twitter app, I've always been frustrated with the way the app orders tweets. I've been a long time fan of Tweetbot, but I've become more and more frustrated by Twitter's insistance on hampering third party developers by limiting their public API. I recently began using the official Twitter app.
