TIME MATTERS: Will Twitter abandon reverse chronology?

Jack Dorsey

Jack Dorsey has been confirmed as the permanent CEO of Twitter. In keeping with his rainmaker persona the new CEO is talking about his ideas to challenge every feature of the messaging phenomenon. He is said to be willing to throw out even the most core features of Twitter in an attempt to push the company forward (whatever that may mean). It may include moving beyond the 140 character limit and reverse chronological format which define Twitter for many, and which Dorsey himself originally established. “You will see us continue to question our reverse chronological timeline and all of the work it takes to build one by finding and following accounts,” Dorsey has said.  Those who love Twitter rely on it to tell them quickly not so much the news, but whether there is news in their specialized fields of interest. Much of the tough talk is about making money. Twitter users can see the service rooting around for ways to get people and their businesses to advertise.
