The real social media revolution will happen when we manage to break through this damn timeline-based representation. It has been a bad idea from the very beginning, since the first weblogs, and we are still clinging to it 20 years later.
We need to dethrone temporal relevance and transition to a thematic collection. Way too much good content gets lost in the advancing timeline, and far too many past posts sink into oblivion. They become unreachable for the author (because, unlike blogs, there is no reasonable search function available) but are easily accessible for any greedy, data-collecting bot that crawls information for profiling purposes.
This is posting for the moment, for 5 minutes of fame. It only shows a part of the surface of an author. Like what an ant sees when it crawls on an elephant. 99.9999% of the good, timeless content is lost this way.
Even though it may be hard for some to imagine, as they are too conditioned to it, we need to move towards a more mind map-like representation.
