Simplicity and (reverse) chronological order. If Twitter goes the way of Facebook and tries to use an algorithm to filter the stream, I won't be using it.

Re: Losing share
I echo what you and David said. One reason I use Twitter more than FB, LinkedIn or G+ is because it is so simple and immediate. I like the search. It's basic and functional. It does what it needs to do quite well and that's it.

Re: Losing share
My take is offering tools for organizing and filtering their feeds would be great -- if they're optional and leave users feeling in control of the experience. But they need to figure out "the Twitter way" of enhancing the feed, rather than copying somewhere else.
Twitter has to remain sleek and unique, or there is no point to it.

Re: Losing share
If these changes could help users to find content in a more organized fashion, provide users the ability to locate new topics of interest (hash tags are good, but not perfect) and follow up with peers that have commented on a topic then these changes could be nice.
Of course -- From a business point of view, Twitter needs to compete. From a consumer point of view, it's unfortunate to see it moving toward becoming like the others.
