Twitter’s latest “news” has been met with some confusion. I put the word news in quotes because I’m not entirely convinced it’s news at all, but other people disagree.

A vaguely worded blog post about the company’s recent timeline experimentation has sparked new fears that faves-as-retweets, and other posts from people you don’t follow, are now a permanent part of Twitter. The post, titled “The spirit of experimentation and the evolution of your home timeline,” read like an explainer blog for users. But buried towards the bottom, it said “These experiments now inform the timeline you see today.”

Many, understandably, read that to mean that Twitter is officially introducing these experiments to a wider audience. The Washington Post said, “Get ready for Tweets from people you don’t follow. Twitter thinks you’ll like them.” PC World said, “Twitter veers into Facebook territory with curated timelines for everyone.”
