The "Federated #timeline" can only become useful (a success function) if it's possible to:
1) Effectively filter languages, and
2) Filter by hashtag(s), and
3) Make saved variants of the combination of 1) and 2) that can be easily reused
A tabbed or prev/next inferface and/or "carousel" function might let us conveniently switch the column view between such variants.
Filter/"variant" examples:
"English" + "#ITsecurity"
"Scandinavian" + "local news"
"German" + "EU" + "legislation"
