Tweets
@Zoonie There is, isn’t there, for some of it at least? Turn off “Show the best tweets first”.

I love the replies. Basically: "Just show us tweets in chronological order and get rid of Nazis!" I'm also genuinely intrigued as to whether Twitter folk think this stuff is good, wanted, fulfilling user needs, etc. twitter.com/sriramk/status…
