It had been rumored that Twitter would be shifting their model away from the strict, chronological timeline model that has been its hallmark since its inception, and to an algorithm-based model that would filter out what users would see, much like how Facebook has approached their Timeline feature.
The internet hadn’t been happy, and took to the hashtag #RIPTwitter to voice
their disapproval.
After it was reported, #RIPTwitter became the No. 1 trending hashtag on the website, showing just how upset some of the most loyal users are.
In response, Twitter’s CEO Jack Dorsey took to Twitter to note that the company isn’t planning on reordering timelines next week as has been reported.
