Your comparison is inapt. One tweet in your timeline can not drown out other tweets.
I never said that, nor do I think that was implied.
I'm still amazed how bad the Twitter.com UI is. The fact stuff like Hootsuite,tweetdeck and a zillion similar tools exist to effectively make twitter usable if you follow more than a dozen people is crazy. There is a whole bunch of innovation waiting to happen: for instance Twitter could build a community around creating and sharing 'lists' for just about any topic. I wanted to make a 'list' for every Canadian MP but…
The stupidity of this is, Twitter made Tweetdeck. Why are we complaining about how bad the UI is if they made something better for specific users?

>I'm still amazed how bad the Twitter.com UI is. Yes, I have been complaining about this sporadically for a while. I mean, I once tweeted that you have to do a headstand to read the tweets in chronological order [1], and even, the text will be upside down ... :) Some time later, I think they have made some changes to that, for certain cases at least, e.g. for a thread consisting of a tweet and replies to it. But in a…
https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/a/2015/the-what-a... I'm sure someone has worked on it. Might be interesting if Twitter had a opt in way to try some of their UI experiments.

... and to give them feedback.
I think the boost comes from ICO-related ads. Especially as Facebook just banned them.
Wow all these posts and youre the only person to mention this. I find that really strange. Of course twitter has just landed a dumptruck load of cryptocurrency ad revenue. Now the question is will they ban it for the same reasons facebook did given how key it is to profitability?

I decided last year that after 10 years, I would figure out how to get something out of twitter, and what I've found is that it really became a useful tool for me by the time I was following around 300 people, and had curated joke and garbage accounts out. What I have now is a bunch of people in my own industry (music twitter, tech twitter), a bunch of people in industries I'm tangentially related to (Game dev twitte…
I use it in a similar way. I follow ~400 mostly in my fields and fields I am interested in, with a heavy emphasis on accounts who post mostly text (as well as a few exceptional photographers). I unfollow or mute accounts that start posting animated gifs, memes, or clickbait. One difference, however: I hardly ever use the Twitter Web interface anymore because of its algorithm that seems to emphasize yesterday's news a…
Also, LinkedIn is terrible, and has been for the entire duration of my experience with it. I recently discovered that someone had tried to contact me about something extremely important using the LinkedIn messaging service, so now I feel somewhat obligated to follow it, and trying to navigate it was physically painful for me. I'm deeply upset that it's been made a necessary part of my life.

I started using Twitter daily a year ago and now I follow about 600 deep learning researchers. It is more lively than /r/machinelearning. I quite enjoy occasionally being able to chat with top guys in the field, especially that they are so busy. Pro tip: when a Trump article comes, select "I don't like this tweet" from the side menu, and after a few such actions applied here and there, your feed is going to feel clea…
Can you please list some of these deep learning accounts, should be very interesting. Thanks!
Bloomberg claiming they know why the stock rose. You could cite any reason
Are you saying the giant move in the stock directly after they announced earnings is not related to the earnings?
