They took it out at the start of the beta cycle for iOS 7. Since its not actually a "notification" it didn't really belong in the Notification Center.
Some people still have a glimmer of hope that its coming back, but I think we wont be seeing it again.
You can always just have Siri tweet for you.

One could argue that sending a message to twitter / Fb is a notification - just its outgoing not incoming 😛
I think Apple should remove the "Missed" tab (it is useless imo) and instead add widgets that users can put there.

In absolutely hated those widgets. Neither had full functionality. They felt half-baked and abandoned by Apple, never to be fixed or updated.

I really miss Twitter one.
But yes, they were « half-baked ».
For example you could write a tweet them lock or push Home button (the Notification Center disappears) and you lost what you wrote.
If there was a network issue, a pop-up message proposed to retry, but you had to retry immediately and not later (you couldn’t activate Wi-Fi/3G meanwhile, or copy the message for later).

Who actually uses Siri to tweet.. Siri can't handle most the things you ask or tell her without getting something wrong. So what makes you think she'll get a tweet right?
I do, and she gets it right every time, even when you mention people, it works perfectly

It wasn't really complete. It would've been much better if you could retweet/favorite/reply to tweets from Notification Center.

What makes me think she can get it right...is all the times she gets it right?
I use Siri to tweet. When I can't use my hands because I'm operating a ton of metal going 65 mph around other people who trust me to be driving. I use Siri to tweet if need be.
If you're operating a ton of metal going at 65 mph you should be focused on that and not talking to Siri to send out a tweet.

I do miss that a bit in iOS 7. I find I no longer update my status with the one-off thoughts I have that I deem worth sharing. I generally use Facebook less.

I really do hope the iOS team puts this functionality back somewhere in the UI, be it Control Center or Notification Center. It's things like that that continues to make this phone a smartphone. Updating and tweeting without needing to open the entire app and load it up was a great smartphone feature. Going backwards in that regard is silly to me.
