Theme control
Twipler is all about control, filtering and ordering.
At its’ core it will provide theme developers with algorithms and functionality to build and combine these options and refine the users experience. This is based on theme-able formula for tweet position.
Tweet position.
Regular twitter orders all tweets in chronological order.
tweet position = chronological order
Here I am following 5 users (A, B, C, D and E) which aggregate to the result R.
However, E is a very good friend of mine and I want their quiet voice to stand out amongst the noise. Using the theme, I give E’s channel a high rating and I also tell it to promote low volume feeds.
tweet position = chronological order
* feed importance scale
* feed volume scale
In another scenario, I may mark a keyword as being interesting.
tweet position = chronological order * channel uplift from previous * content keyword importance
Channel B mentions this keyword, followed by a tweet which does not contain that keyword. Here I want the lower down tweet promoted up and some of that up-lift to effect the more recent tweet.
You can see how this can get very crazy very quickly.
