i'm bridget carey. this is your cnet update. twitter has tinkered with the timeline, p pling the past into the presest. allow me to explain. one of the main reasons people love e checking twitter is because you see a real-time, chronologically ordered feed of what people are saying, so you can keep up with what is trending this second. but if you follow hundreds of accounts, you will miss tweets posted when you were not logged on. and twitter is now addressing this by showing you older tweets it thinks you care about right on top of your current feed. reports say y out a zen of these older tweeee will be on top of the real-time stream, with oldest showing first. it's as if twitter spread a layer of facebook-flavored frosting on top of your tweet cake, hoping to make it more rolling out now, i don't have it yet, but you'll find it as an option in settings -- and eventually it may be the default for everyone. it's similalain concept to o e while you were away, where twitter shows a handful of posts made by people you interact with

i'm jeff bakalar filling in for bridget carey. this is your cnet update. after what was mostly a released yesterday, twitter is having major issues convincing wall street it's the real deal. most discouraging, twitter can't grow its userbase. that number has not moved since last quarter. farhad manjoo of the new york times writes that twitter needs to reconsider what kind of company it is. maybe it's not the blockbuster silicon valley powerhouse that wall street wants it to be. perhaps it's not meant to emulate the googles and facebooks of the world. instead, twitter is more like a public utility, a newswire, a transcription of the world. manjoo doesn't say twitter can't make money, but maybe normalizing expectations is the first step in bringing the still-great service back down to earth.hbo now, the a la carte $15 a month streaming service has seen a slower than expected adoption rate. it's been a little less than a year analysts had projected subscriptions to be close to the 2 million mark. but in reality, about 800,000 people have signed up for the ser
