What confuses me about this debate is why merge a microblogging client and a notification-stream client? Microblogging is a discrete thing, like long jump at the Olympics. Instagramming/Olas-ing is also a discrete thing, like high jump.
If there were a Notification-stream client, basically a client showing all activity of all people followed, with nicely rendered placeholders for context and all that, and settings for which types of events to surface, that'd be cool—but seems like that'd be a separate client altogether. Like the decathlon or the heptathlon something.
Trying to jam some or all of that functionality into a microblogging client seems to me like it'd make things real heavy and end up smothering the microblogging flame, you'd lose that special microblogging feeling.
