That's how I feel twitter operates now though. If you don't keep scrolling until you reached something stale you'll miss something. Start following a handful of power users and you'll start taking twitter breaks like smoke breaks.
Twitter is like a garden with weeds. Constant need of pruning. Facebook just hides most that you don't commit to every now and then. Twitter has also a bit too much automation and anonymity. But some of the parody accounts are gems.
