Why do Twitter (and other) clients add new stuff to the top? Why not add to the bottom? I read from top to bottom, so wd see older first.
@charlesarthur @spolsky -- you asked about twitter. joel told you why. i have a pretty good idea where our stuff fits in with earlier tech.

@davewiner@spolsky I’m asking about the convention so often used of putting new stuff at the top. It didn’t begin with the net, Dave. -
@charlesarthur@davewiner is right, it was very non-obvious. In 1995, everyone said it was backwards. By 2000, it was standard.
