Why haven't you supported this?
"You" - you mean they?
And it does support iCloud but not until its released into the Mac app store - only MAS signed and approved apps are allowed to use iCloud features.
Got a tip for us?

Ill stick with the official app, does all the same stuff for me. I use it to read tweets while using Mountain Lion to make tweets.

I can upload the .caf files if anyone wants them.

Agree with others in the thread that the UI looks very rush and unsophisticated. But i'm kind of warming to the app. I don't use Tweetbot for my iPad or iPhone, because i think it's a bit of a con that the app isn't a universal binary and that i have to buy it for both devices. However, if Twitter don't update the official OS X app with notification centre support and iCloud syncing, i'll probably end up buying tweetbot on all platforms.
Slightly off-topic.
But i see a lot of hate towards the official twitter apps, iOS and OS X, i've never had a bad experience with them, just wondered why a lot of people don't like them?

Haven't downloaded yet, I'm about to, but it sounds insane. I bought the app on my phone and was looking to see if it exists for the mac about a week ago!
EDIT: After downloading, my first impressions are that it should be a drop down app from the menu bar, that would be cool. The interface seems good, but where are the sounds???

For me they're just far too basic - but if you just use Twitter to follow a few hundred people for a newsfeed, I would imagine they work perfectly. If like me you've got a couple of accounts you maintain and actively interact on promoting yourself and websites with a few thousand followers on each, they just provide enough flexibility and advanced options.
The difference is the fate and direction of OS X is created by Apple, not some 3rd party that decides they are just going to do their own thing that doesn't fit any of the current paradigms! It is bad and lazy UI design and development! That is exactly why design and development of 3rd party programs on Windows is a grotesque nightmare!

There is nothing bad and lazy about Tweetbot's design. If you want to see bad and lazy, try the Mac Steam client.
I think the issue your are raising is uniformity vs individuality. John Gruber wrote an excellent article on this a while ago.

I really like it so far. I already like it more than the standard Twitter app, considering I use Tweetbot on both my iOS devices. I just wish there was an option to scroll to the top, especially when you have a ton of tweets to go thru.
I don't agree with this in the slightest. Apple's apps don't agree with any current paradigms, and even worse, they don't agree with each other either. As a developer the only thing you can do is make something that works for your app and forget what Apple is trying to do. They use to be all about uniformity and now it's anything but.
Interesting article from Gruber. Thanks for the link.
If we are talking conservative or liberal in design taste I would be an independent! I don't think everything should be stock and boring. But I do believe that good design would stick to a basic framework that is familiar to the environment it is being created in and the users. Individuality is also nice sometimes. But I think this app and the twitter app in the Gruber article are both very ugly and bad design! Just my opinion
What is that image of above. The one with the macrumors stuff?? Is that an app? I've never seen a macrumors webpafe like that
If you double click on the speech bubble icon on the left it will scroll to the top.
I don't get those, but I DO get this, _exactly_ every 30 seconds:
