Would rather have official mod support, I mean, what are the chances a normal run of the mill player is going to have a real reason to stream his game on Twitch? Just for giggles I suppose?

I agree. But livestreaming will be fun to watch, at least!
It's not like it's Google, that actually combines Google+ into Youtube. Those are actually from the same company, so I can see how that has purpose.
So I really wonder why Mojang is so interested in our Twitch account data...
Twitch has a similar ads mechanics to most other community driven services, like Google or Facebook. The Twitch Media Group, through its partnership programs live of ad placement and trading revenues. Mojang simply became a Twitch partner and is probably going to get its cut.
I'm not happy with this relationship between Mojang and what has essentially become an ad company. But fortunately Mojang did the right thing and isn't forcing it down our throats. You don't have to use it if you don't want to. So its not compulsory you create a twitch account to play minecraft. It will be only if you want to create or view twitch-based content. Which, frankly I don't advise anyone to do.
It's a interesting novelty to watch a live stream from within minecraft, but it will get old soon because YouTube has become the traditional Minecraft video source and I don't see Twitch ever being able to replace it or come near.

I was trying to think of a signature and this is what came up.

That, is where you're wrong, kinda.
If you usually go to Twitch to watch some livestreams, Minecraft is the #3 or #4 most watched game there (Depends on various timezones)
Lol @ people complaining about some laggy gameplay with 1.7.X. I'm still getting a solid 400fps on flatworlds, about 165fps on AMP'd worlds and at least a consistent 290fps on regular worlds. This is with a junky Geeforce 9800 with a DESKFAN cooling it down. Seriously, if you're going to whine about laggy gameplay and you don't have a dedicated card to perform what minecraft has to offer, just stick to old outdated versions because no one wants to hear it.
My only speculation for this is, I kinda hope mojang slows the updates down a tad. Even though 1.7.3 fixed that horrible render issue, forge still hasn't even updated to 1.7 yet (which I'm extremely excited about). 1.7.3 seems pretty stable for gameplay, no lag, no stutters, no chunk errors and no crashes so far. Let's just hope for a modders perspective, it's also stable.
Either way, should be good. Can't wait to test that livestream function. =D
I'm pretty sure their intention is to skip 1.7.2 altogether (see here).
Possibly Mojang itself and some $$$ in return of promoting the Twitch Media Group. See here.

This is a legacy account, meaning it is no longer active
Exactly.

But YAY Twitch and stuff that is so important to playing MC :twirlhair:

Pretty much the only thing I'm excited about in this update. The only problem with them is that the probability of them spawning is too small.
And the texture bugfix is good.
