Thanks for the suggestions...and I'll explain how a few things happen:

1. The reason you're seeing out of date stuff isn't because of our cache expiration, but because we can't call the service enough. We're working on some ways to tweak how often we call Twitter, but when you're logged in we put you into a priority queue so that you're updating every 5 minutes or so. We're working on a way that we can do this without you needing to be logged in. One of the reasons that the iPhone is consistently more out of date than the desktop version is because when you log in with the iPhone we don't prioritize you just yet. This is a UI issue more than anything and will be fixed shortly.

2. We can't exactly do an auto-call whenever you post a tweet because it could provide lots of problems (with API call limits). What we can do is provide visual representation of what we know you posted. Granted, this is sort of a "faked" approach, but not really, because we know the post actually went up.
