Great point. One of the most annoying things about organizing articles based on a single timeline like Twitter is that old stuff gets pushed into oblivion too quickly. Most of these don't use pagination either, so I need to scroll like crazy and wait for AJAX to catch up if I want to go back more than a few days.
Sure, you could do search, but how do you search for something you don't even know exists? Like a blog post that appeared two weeks ago while I wasn't looking. With any half-decent RSS reader, each blog gets its own section, so articles don't get lost in the noise even if Blog A only publishes once a month and Blog B publishes twice a day. Even if Blog C only publishes once a year, the little "(1)" next to its name will stay there even if I miss it by several months.
Not all of us are always looking for the latest news from the last 30 minutes. I routinely read articles from several years ago, sometimes even from the previous millennium. Any method of finding and organizing articles that makes it difficult for me to figure out what happened last year is not welcome in my mind.
