Have you considered using a client that doesn't stay scrolled all the way to the top (TweetBot has a toggle for "pin to top" for example)? I would find what you're describing pretty much a deal breaker in my use of twitter, so I use this feature and literally read every tweet from everyone I follow. When I open twitter (and it syncs between desktop/mobile), I'm at the same spot I was when I opened it last.

This seems to be the default in Twitter iOS app and I really like it as well. There's just a new tweets hover button that can be used to follow to the top. So long as they don't mess with this behavior I welcome new ways to find tweets . Just hope they don't turn it into Facebook wall type deal where nobody knows why they're seeing what they're seeing
That would help with the scrolling issue, but it would still force me to read through tons of irrelevant tweets to find the few interesting ones...
True but, in my opinion, inherent to Twitter. Just because some algorithm decides some tweet is 'important' doesn't mean I'll agree :)
