In WhatsApp, a typical message goes to 1 other person. On Twitter, it can go to millions of people.
When Twitter initially got their failwhaling under control, I recall reading they solved it by changing from a relational "join in and merge the timelines of everyone you're following on each refresh" model to a messagebox model. If that's true, maybe that naive model is now showing its limitations (I doubt they stopped there though, it seems like they have things under control)
