I really, really don't like it. It's like bringing a mini News Feed to Twitter, and the layout just doesn't work for me. I'll try to give it a chance, but my early impressions are that it's just a messy, cluttered News Feed implementation.

I agree. I think the problem is Twitter already is a "news feed", it's user provided though. In 99% of cases I don't care if x follows y, whereas on Facebook if x is now friends with y "Hey, I might know Y! Oh, they're someone from high school I haven't spoken to for years!".

It feels unnecessary and irrelevant to Twitter.
