For those who need timely access to information that is only available on Twitter, the account is unavoidable.

The benefit of extra steps is a client under user control, e.g. filtering, RSS, better threading and more.

If timely is the key criterion isn’t sticking a caching layer in the middle the opposite of helping?

  • Transparent, deterministic, user-controlled caching and filtering > black-box Twitter display algos that change unpredictably.
