   This is a point I've made before, and I'd like to underscore it here for a moment.

   When I ask a friend I haven't seen in a few weeks how they are doing, do I want to hear:

   1. A general summary of the last few weeks, focusing on highlights. Possibly out of strict order timewise but going through things in terms of importance.
   2. A play-by-play starting with what they ate for breakfast today and working their way backwards?

   Of _course_ I want the highlights!

     Similarly, if I have friends who are all over the world and I log in once a day, do I want to have to scroll through 300 posts before I see how my friends in Japan are doing?

     No! I want to see how they are doing as part of my experience too!

     The other day I logged on and there were 800 unread messages and I had only been logged out for order hours.

     Understand: wanting timelines to be smarter than reverse chron is not "wanting corporate control over what I see."

     It's _common_.

     @hrefna I would start organizing in lists, I suppose.
