A chronological timeline has benefits but will look very dull compared to a timeline where Twitter can put in front of you stuff that's related to recent news but that was posted a while ago. The key is to push topics in front of you, not the latest thing that was said.

The question is: who chooses the topic? In Google, the default results of the search engine can be circumvented by adding keywords to force the search algorithm to follow your thoughts. In Twitter, well... You hope Twitter won't be evil. [Guess what? It eventually will]
