Twitter Launches New Timeline Feature That Shows You 'Best Tweets First'

Twitter has introduced a new Home timeline feature that shows you the 'best' Tweets first. The feature has caused some concern among users; however, Twitter has promised that it can be turned off.

How It Works:
You flip on the feature in your settings; then when you open Twitter after being away for a while, the Tweets you're most likely to care about will appear at the top of your timeline – still recent and in reverse chronological order. The rest of the Tweets will be displayed right underneath, also in reverse chronological order, as always. At any point, just pull-to-refresh to see all new Tweets at the top in the live, up-to-the-second experience you already know and love.

To try out the feature, go to the timeline section of your settings and choose Show me the best Tweets first. Twitter says it will turn on the feature by default within the coming weeks.
