Best twitter app for someone who doesnt tweet?

Hello all,

Ive read the twitter threads, but cant find the answer.
I use twitter simply as a news feed to get info on people and things, but i really want push notification that doesnt send a splash screen to my iphone.
I want it to push the red circled number to the icon so i can see if there any new tweets. I use echofon at the mo, but that doesnt have push, does the paid version have what i want?
Does that make sense?
I already have im+ for msm but that shows a screen of the latest tweet and it looks a bit rubbish.

Ta for any help.

I think Tweetie has push, and I'm pretty sure the paid version of Echofon does as well.

Could you not turn of the notifications for the app in the phone settings?
