Tvider Blog

Twitter just launched a new mobile website, optimized for users who don’t want to tweet from special apps like Tweetie or Twidroid. The company found that plenty of people were still accessing its old Web site when tweeting from their phones, so Twitter revamped the old site http://m.twitter.com for them.

You can try out the new mobile version of Twitter by visiting http://mobile.twitter.com/ on your mobile device. Its got a great new look, and has some great new touches that will make your mobile experience on Twitter a bit more fun and a lot more helpful.

If you’re wondering why Twitter was compelled to redo their mobile site after years of silence, check out their blog post on the subject.

The Twitter blog post says that this works best on Webkit browsers, which are found on Android, the iphone, Nokia S60, and Palm OS. It’ll still work on other platforms, but the Twitter team hasn’t fine tuned it yet.

Take a look at the new mobile version of Twitter below.
