So, I came back home tonight, and I wanted to twitter.

Well, say I leave the screen up, and there is no auto-refresh for twitter so that it automatically updates itself with AJAX.  So when I post a tweet to twitter, my tweet appears only on top of the newest post from my previous “session”within the browser.

This means that twitter is not updating and displaying a live database that has all the tweets in it, but rather is just appending the newest tweet to the array of old tweets that were refreshed on the last refresh.

This makes me giddy because twitter should be using AJAX to parse the newest tweets on an UPDATE.  But it doesn’t, twitter takes THE EASY ROUTE.  Come on twitter, sacrifice some server load.  You should be up to date with new hardware that should allow requesting the new timeline.

Anyone know what I’m talking about?
