I guess I just don't "get" twitter, but despite the character limit, I still feel like a high-res screenful of tweets still contains almost no content. The webpage limits tweets to a very narrow column in the middle of the browser window, and there's a ton of fluff at the top and bottom of every tweet. I've never been successful at curating my twitter feed; I follow way fewer people than I'd like to, and still see way too much junk.

Facebook is getting worse about "junk" too, but somehow I see far more content per pixel on Facebook than I do on Twitter.

I'd like to think limiting content to 140 characters would make twitter more information-dense, but it doesn't feel that way in my anecdote.

You can try to use TilePad (http://tilepad.co). It is a Chrome extension that arranges twitter timeline in columns, allows to configure a tweet design, and much more.
