I barely use twitter, I follow like 2 people. But I have still noticed how offensively useless the timeline is. The timeline has never been anything more than an out-of-context jumble of nothing, even with how curated my following list is. It is actually shocking to me how utterly incompetent it is. It takes what I want to see and actually somehow strips it of value. There is no reason for me to use the timeline in any respect ever, but it's still the landing page.

Agreed. Tweetdeck is able to have a normal timeline, but the damage is done, all the people are like us, we've all stopped using it. It's on a downward spiral.
