The auto-refresh feature is a "must" for any micro-blogging niche. A myriad of interactions takes place in no time. Hitting the refresh button could be a turn-off for many including those who are used to with site like Twitter.

what other platform has a auto refresh? not even twitter does. (In fact they already tried it and removed it) It was found that if you're trying to read and interact with something a auto refresh would take that away from you.

When u click a thread or tweet, it will redirect u to the next page and the that page wont get refreshed, it's only the main page feed that gets automatically refreshed, that is what we mean by auto-refresh feature.
