I always thought newest-first was a little silly, but it's odd how much I've been trained to it now.
It feels weird being at the bottom of the page when new things come in. I think a part of it is that it's slightly uncomfortable keeping my eyes on the bottom of the screen waiting for new content. Increasing the footer hight so that the latest tweet can be nearer the top of the screen makes it feel easier.
I like the idea. Newest first seems more natural to me now that I've been conditioned but I regularly find myself (particularly first thing in the morning) scrolling backwards and then working my way up through tweets. I could see myself using this quite regularly.
It seems like the sort of app I would use once per day to read all the tweets I missed through the night. A more tailored reading interface therefore would be nice (better use of screen real estate, just the username+tweet - no extra details or buttons). If you made something like this I would definitely pay for it. Maybe I'm the only one but it seems like it would be a pretty common use case particularly among heavy twitter users.
