Another possible way to do something like this: TweetDeck for Android remembers the most recent viewed message, and positions the list so that this message is on top. Scrolling up from there causes new messages to come into view.

I find that helpful, since I can clearly keep track of what's new since last time I looked. Compare that to Gwibber, which periodically refreshes its view and automatically displays new messages with no distinction of what's old or new. I suggest that Gwibber implement something similar to the Twitter web client, to display the number of new messages and a button to display them. A further enhancement could be to color-code different batches of downloaded messages with different colors. For those who like the current behavior, the new behavior could be optional.
