    You know how Tweetbot saves tab state, and generally manages memory really well? The Twitter app is like that but the exact opposite.

        @monkbent I really worry about twitter, other big companies have apps people like (tumblr, facebook, etc)

        @judsondunn to be fair, they don't have 3rd-party competitors

        @judsondunn sure, but it's not that bad honestly. Just suffers in comparison to Tweetbot. Hard to know for sure IMO

        @akag9 lots if features 3rd party apps don't have. Better search, notifications, discover, etc

        @monkbent if the experience feels cheap, the device might as well be too. Apple's trick has been to reward good experiences w/ App Store.

        @monkbent right, Tweetbot'd be great only if it'd show conversations right as the official Tweeter app, it misses replies, all the time
