Also can you answer one other thing for me? When there is a break in the timeline (a gap of time) and you touch it to load the tweets in between, does the screen jump to the newer, upper tweets or does it sink down to the lower, older tweets?
The only app I've found that does that is osfoora (by "that" I mean it sinks to the oldest tweet). It's really the only feature I bought the app for.

Hard for me to describe, but the app just looks great and has...I dunno, personality. I used Echofon and Twitter for iPhone pre-dickbar, and Tweetbot has the nicest look of them. It has pretty much all the features you'd expect from a twitter app and more. Something I don't really need but some people really like it showing lists of what you've retweeted and who has retweeted you.
When you load up the app, it has similar functionality to the twitter webpage, where it says "15 New Tweets" or whatever number in a bar near the top and you click it to see them. It starts at the bottom of the new tweets, just like Twitter for iPhone.
