Many people have commented that it is empty. However what they do not realize is that there has never actually been an algorithm and that is why it is empty.
There's not an algorithm to order timelines?

#12Makes me wonder how Twitter employees internally are handling the news. If they are celebrating or commiserating?

#14Seems weird to start as a non-private repo until there's some content. Also bit of an unusual name. Can't tell if this is internal trolling or the future

#15This seems to be a practical joke by a Twitter engineer as opposed to an actual release.

#17Is this supposed to be a joke? It's clearly an empty repo. Either this is a mistake, or this is a really, really misguided attempt at a joke from Twitter.
It was created 20 minutes ago. Maybe a WIP?

#19There is something vaguely threatening about this.
Re: twitter/the-algorithm
#20It's empty.
Did it get taken down already? I think open-sourcing the algo would materially change the value of the deal.
Twitters main value is its user base (especially including most journalists, "stars", politicans, companies,...)
I would say the algo itself is worthless, but my estimate would be nowhere near even 1B$.
