Everything is compatible with a timeline. That's why everyone is afraid to break with the timeline concept. It's the easiest and the simplest to explain.
They also mix "timeline" up with "appears in a vertical, scrollable list, even though you can put things in a list in a non-timestamp order.
For instance, if I open up my notifications app, do I absolutely have to see everything in the order it was sent, or should I see more high-priority items first? If I open my communities app, do I have to see everything in the timestamp order, or could I see threads my best frens are in, or that focus on my favorite subtopics, further up in the list?
And why do I need to tell the app whose stuff I'm going to be most interested in? Is it not obvious who they are, from the open data set? People are so afraid of smart code that the clients are kept willfully retarded.
At the same time, I might want to only lurk on some stuff (leaving less of a data trail) or I want to specifically avoid someone that I'd been speaking to regularly, without having to mute them. Can the client figure out a way to help me do that?
