I love the “while you were away” feature on Twitter. It’s full of great stuff every time they show it to me.
My sister in law said to me last weekend “I hope they never get rid of the classic timeline on Twitter.”
I replied “I wish they would have gotten rid of it years ago.”
Different strokes for different folks I guess.
I use gmail’s priority inbox because I don’t want to see every email that comes into my inbox.
I wish there was a curated version of my Twitter timeline so I would only see the best tweets that come in.
Of course, I’d like to be able to see all the tweets if for some reason I wanted to do that. I think Twitter should maintain that view for the hardcore users like my sister in law who want that.
But I doubt most people want to see everything. Facebook got rid of “see everything” as the default view many years ago and they massively improved the user experience in doing so.
So I’m eagerly awaiting a curated version of my timeline from Twitter.
Until then, I’ll have to be satisfied with “while you are away.” And I am.
