which sadly does not work anymore as I gave up on the several API changes.
The beauty was that I could search (and memorize) any hashtag I liked and then sorted this by retweets AND if I was away for holidays I came back and see only these newer tweets and have those sorted again by retweets.
Also sorting your timeline by retweets is really powerful.
This way you do not waste time to discover things and you do not need to trust an algorithm to find something interesting (although I loved getprismatic.com and like http://tweetedtimes.com/) but I can actively search for stuff
I also tried to combined hackernews in the mix to find more stuff outside of my follower set and e.g. find people to follow but also have the possibility to sort hackernews by XY AND filter by my topic which I still really miss here too :)
There was also a nice feature to find the first tweet of a certain link/tweet to learn which people really post 'hot stuff' and which just copy things.
