While we should never kid ourselves, we should also try not to be sensationalist about things. Conspiracy theories aside, as Twitter gets more and more users, search results sorted strictly by time can in a lot of cases provide massive velocity that is very noisy and not very relevant. Sometimes the answer to "What's happening right now?"
Here's an example: http://skitch.com/marcelmolina/n7thi/picture-5 The "most recent" tweets are still available Dewald. We aren't hiding them from you. They are right there. If you are more interested in @Evilknievel213 or @iHollywoodDance then you might be a little miffed that you have to scan past two results that are more "newsworthy" and a I would posit in most cases a more compelling answer to the question "What's happening right now?". If your issue here is with search.twitter.com as an end user and not the API then perhaps this forum has ceased to be the optimal place to share your feedback. We're not trying to ruin your search experience. We're trying to improve it by helping you wade through the noise. If you prefer to not have help wading through the noise you are the 20% case. We're not monetizing earthquakes... On Tue, Apr 6, 2010 at 10:22 AM, Dewald Pretorius <[email protected]> wrote: > Let's not kid ourselves.
