One flaw I've noticed in Twitter's recommendations recently is the tendency to send notifications for "BREAKING NEWS"-type Tweets. Great, except they're usually for news that happened in the past - typically 12-24 hours ago!

The algorithm really needs to recognise when tweets are time-sensitive and not recommend them just because they got a lot of engagement the previous day!
