Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gwibber
The Twitter web client does not display new messages automatically, instead it says something like "2 new tweets" and you have to press a button to see the new tweets. 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.
