@aral @finiteattention oh great! so if someone I follow favourites a link to some porn I get to have it dumped in front of me too? -
@MickeySoFine@aral @finiteattention no, no you don't. -
@Smutchings@aral @finiteattention in that case why did it happen to me 2 days ago? -
@MickeySoFine@aral @finiteattention really? Oh dear... -
@Smutchings@aral @finiteattention indeed, I now no longer follow the guy who favorited it. I dont see any other way of stopping it for now.

@aral And this exactly will be Twitter’s downfall. Once they interfere the timeline will turn into sh*t-stream like Facebook’s already has. -
@stefanrichter Then what? Perhaps another venture-capital subsidised free service steps in. The model is the problem. - 1 more reply

@aral This whole “unwanted tweets in your timeline” thing—how are apps like say@Twitterrific affected? Do/will they show up there too??Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
