Twitter may not be competing directly with Facebook with it's recently launched Activity tab, but to add to the new twitter activity feed opt-out/sort-out/manage dilemma (as I mentioned in my previous post), now Facebook adds the SORT MENU to its news feed.
With the introduction of SORT menu, right there on the right top of the news feed to segregate the recent stories and highlighted stories as per the user's choice, the comparison of twitter's activity tab to that of the Facebook news feed gets a long wild space in between.
If Twitter is trying to bring some changes for good they better should consider the users' interest first. Change is the law, but it shouldn't be done/brought in a monotonic way. Rather it should be user oriented just like Facebook does.
So, as far as twitter doesn't introduce the ability (at user's end) to keep that ACTIVITY tab manually off or something to manage a list for that tab, it doesn't even worth a dime.
As Anthony De Rosa of Guardian.co.uk writes "Twitter would finally have a way to show the power of Lists to a wider audience and the bigger audience would allow us to see which Lists are trending..." Surely, twitter could do much more, if they had considered the LISTS rather than all the cluttered activities under that activity tab.
