Twitter's Working with Timelines is a very nice document that explains how it works. At first glance, it would seem that there should be a normal paging scheme and there was early on. However, the amount of traffic that comes in and the fact that the most recent tweets is changing quickly makes this impractical. So, they offered since_id and max_id to ensure you get the latest tweets without duplication.
