Yeah, if Twitter were RESTful the client would not be reliant on server state to function. And the media type would have to be documented and adhered to. Meaning e.g. that multiple vendors could be used simultaneously without conflict. Being RESTful would just increase interoperability. But that's not Twitters game.
