Let Twitter Be Twitter

I definitely understand the fact that it's probably disappointing (?) to investors, but I'm confused when I hear it's dying. It's THE way to get realtime news on just about anything. It's my first go-to for sports, news, politics, even tech. The author hits it on the head; the 'vast confusion' of the timeline is kind of why I use it (and maybe why others do too).

The problem is money. They took on a lot of investment. Investors want their money back. Meanwhile, running Twitter is expensive.

not sure that the 'vast confusion' is why people use it..

I think that this confusion is more the reason why adoption and retention are not that great. Besides this, I think Twitter is the most valuable social network to date, you just have to hack your way around it to make it useful.

What I mean is that I don't want it to be organized or filtered, like the author says. Having just one timeline with everything is nice.

There's room for both a "raw" feed and a "filtered" feed.
