Twitter’s new mobile site goes live

By Zee Follow Zee on twitter on December 4th, 2009

IMG_0194It’s been a long time coming but Twitter’s refreshed new mobile site is now live.

Twitter are keen to point out this is just “preview”, and currently works best on Webkit browsers – Android, iPhone, Nokia S60 and Palm Web OS phones all come with these browsers installed. Other browsers like BlackBerry work too, but not up to the standard they would wish.

The old mobile site is still accessible via http://m.twitter.com, with Twitter gradually moving its users over to the new mobile site once early bugs and fixes are made.

The mobile site doesn’t appear to feature lists just yet, which seems rather strange. That aside, credit where its due, the attention to detail is rich, new retweets are included and while you’re unlikely to switch from the likes of Tweetie and Tweetdeck, for a quick peak of a twitter profile or your mentions, it’s a welcome refresh.

You can test it out yourself by pointing your phones browser to http://mobile.twitter.com.

    @对啊博客 可能也和技术有关,因为像 Twitter 列表这个它自己发明的东西都不加进去,真让我失望。另外,技术只能向前进,如果 Twitter 做好了,第三方应用就会做得更好,要不就被淘汰了。

    用黑莓8700 通过 opera mini 4.2 访问 m.twitter.com 和 mobile.twitter.com 最终的显示效果没有区别。看起来还挑浏览器。
