I agree. I use multiple clients throughout the day and the ability to know where I left off is a huge plus so that I don't have to "memorize" what the last tweet I read was (especially if its been a while). Although it would be a bit difficult and can turn into a nightmare for the website. For example, with email, we must list all our email and if we have a lot of people emailing us (this is equivalent to people we follow), we end up with a backlog that we must go through and mark everything read by hand (or select all then mark as read). It can make things a little overwhelming, unless they are automatically marked as read once you log out (fetch only those since the last login).
