Key things to know about changes in Twitter's timeline
NEW YORK (AP) — Twitter's tweaking its timeline to emphasize certain tweets from people you follow, but don't expect dramatic changes from the chronological feed you're used to.
Twitter announced the changes Wednesday as it tries to stay relevant in the face of stiff competition from Facebook, Snapchat and other services.
THE MAIN CHANGE — Twitter has been showing tweets from people and organizations you follow in chronological order, with the newest tweets up top.
The service isn't revealing the specific formula, but says it will be based on factors such as accounts you interact with most and specific tweets you engage with.
OTHER SOCIAL NETWORKS — Facebook displays posts based on your connections and activities on Facebook, rather than chronologically, but you can customize the feed in various ways.
