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.
