Think of it as paging through results. The usual UI is to have the “next” page of results (in this case, older tweets) be on the right side.

In Twitter's case, I think that is more relevant than the metaphor of a left-to-right chronology.

But yeah — that trips me up on Twitter, del.icio.us and other sites where paging *forward* through results means going *back* in time.

Think of it as paging through results. The usual UI is to have the “next” page of results (in this case, older tweets) be on the right side.

In Twitter's case, I think that is more relevant than the metaphor of a left-to-right chronology.

But yeah — that trips me up on Twitter, del.icio.us and other sites where paging *forward* through results means going *back* in time.
