Twitter has become like GMail for me - I access the service but not the application. I've been using the Mail app on the iPhone to access all my GMail accounts, and use Tweetbot for Twitter. The services keep tweaking their own UI's, but as long as they don't block the functionalities that 3rd party apps need, I think I'll be fine.

Same here - plus "Twitter for Mac" on OS X. I can't remember the last time I went to twitter.com, it's very rare anyway.

Not a safe bet by any means.
