Twitter now officially says your timeline is more than just tweets from people you follow - Quartz

Also see Twitter Pollutes The Timeline (TechCrunch); tangentially, see How Facebook Redesigns for a Billion Users (Bloomberg BusinessWeek)

"Facebook’s newsfeed only shows you a fraction of posts from your friends and reorders the posts based on how relevant they are to you. Twitter has traditionally shown you all tweets from people you follow in strict reverse chronological order. The new text makes clear that while that dynamic isn’t changing now, Twitter will also be adding tweets you might like.  Still, it’s a fundamental change in how Twitter works. And it’s probably a sign of things to come: Twitter must tweak things to drive growth, it has a new product lead running the show, and has promised many new “experiments” to follow."
