Twitter’s New Timeline Is Now On

Twitter’s new timeline which displays tweets based on importance rather than chronology is now the default setting for all users. Twitter rolled out the feature in February, but it was initially opt-in. Now, however, reports are emerging that the company has gone and made it the law of the land, notifying users with a message when they first sign on. In the blog post first announcing the change, the company noted, “We will be turning on the feature for you in coming weeks, look out for a notification in your timeline.” Simply go to your account settings, scroll down until you reach the “timeline” section, and uncheck the box that says “show me the best Tweets first.” Reports gathered that some users appear not to have received the notification in their timeline, and that the setting was turned on anyway. But a Twitter spokesman said “As we said in our announcement, we are rolling out our timeline improvements to everyone over time. People can still choose to opt out of it in their settings.” Thanks for reading.
