I don't use Twitter, but I'm a reluctant Facebooker (because everyone in my family and a few good friends use it), and it actually suffers from a more realistic version of this problem. I frequently see posts that are like 3 weeks old popping up at the top of my feed, posts that it also showed me 3 weeks ago.

That usually happens there has been a new action related to the post (i.e. someone liked it and/or someone commented on it) which I like because some people use facebook infrequently and it allows you to see their comments.
