twhirl: sometimes twitter needs a break

The really annoying thing about the otherwise gorgeous thwirl client is its inability to pause the live-feed: on my windows mobile pda I use tiny twitter.

The client updates my contact feed every 5 minutes – but it does not auto-scroll, which means that when I start reading again I start exactly where I left off, scrolling through all the new tweets.

I really miss this option on twhirl: in my opinion, one of twitter's key-strength is the overview-factor… but with twhirl, I allways have to scroll back. New tweets are marked with an asterisk, but still I miss my “pause”-button…
