Twitter Mobile Web was friendly only for status update. There was no reply button, no retweet button and no favorite button.
It was kind of frustrating to remember the Twitter ID of the person, and then type it in the update box(without spelling mistakes!) and send the reply.
Recently Twitter has added bunch of new features to it, to make it more useful. Now I don’t use any Apps, I just use the simple mobile web interface.
Some of the things added to Twitter Mobile Web are – reply, retweet, favorite, turn off the images, Popular topics, popular topics of today week etc, real time search capabilities, hhmm, but the copy rights has not yet been updated, its still showing © 2009. If you find some thing more, please share it with us in the comment section.
Missing..
Yes, I still miss the display of updates in AJAX style(That we can see on Standard Twitter Web). We need to refresh each time to see the new updates. And there is a big Refresh button provided at the top for this purpose.
Here are some of the screen shots from my Nokia 6630.
Problem!
Although there was one issue(at the time of writing this post). Once you goto twitter mobile web and input your user id and password and hit signin, it just refuses to signin and stays on the same page. There is a big Refresh button at the top of the page, which is of no use!
To get into Twitter, all you need is, to switch to Standard Twitter Webpage – signin and then switch back to Twitter Mobile Web, and it works!
Nice points brought by your here, I feel the worst part is Ajax thing , which you have already mentioned. I will try this apps for sure.
Seems you noticed it very late..this was rolled out to users on 3 Dec, 2009 – http://blog.twitter.com/2009/1.....gfood.html 😛
How do u retweet if your phone doesnt show the retweet button?
