To anyone who has updated their twitter mobile client they recently got rid of discover and activity. Typically you would get to these screens by swiping left on the home screen. Activity was a straightforward summary of what your friends had favorited while discover was an algorithmic garble of mostly high followed accounts. I think removing the activity feed highlights the path that could seriously hurt twitter. Alienating their core users for the sake of either ads or new users. Anyone who uses and loves twitter knows how to use it and why its so powerful.

I'd propose doing something more radical for the onboarding process. Perhaps, they could show an almost random feed of tweets and rapidly update where the tweets are coming from by using a bayesian learning process. The point is you need to build your twitter from the ground up and not the top down.
