MacNN reports, “mobile.twitter.com has been built from scratch using only the Twitter API, and still contains many of the features found on the regular website.”
“The new interface includes Reply, Retweet and Favourite buttons, as well as the ability to see Mentions and Direct Messages,” MacNN reports. “It displays updates, followers and popular trending topics, with supplemental functions such as a search box and an option to remove images.”
“The company eventually intends to have the new mobile site replace the existing “m.twitter.com,” MacNN reports. “The [mobile.twitter.com] code is still under development.”

I just felt a great disturbance in the Twitterverse, as if thousands of Twitter Apps suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Perhaps what you felt was the impact on Twitter if Google buys them up and decides to release a Google-branded Twitter.
Maybe Twiggle or Gwitter or Goolitter or …
The Force is weak with that one……
If Google wants to help humanity, it will buy Twitter and destroy it with a sharp axe. Just when you thought that communication between human beings couldn’t possibly get any more trivial, along came Twitter.
Maybe everything will eventually turn back to Apple’s original vision of web-based apps. The rest of the world wasn’t quite ready for it.
This has nothing to do with Twitter but…

Why stop with Twitter? Let’s add email, sms, sexting, video chat, blogs, phones, television, magazines and newspapers, conversations, and any other form of communication.
Every one of these tools has been trivialized by humanity, so where do you draw the line on censorship? Who decides to pull the plug, Google? I don’t think so.
The fact that people are communicating at all is a good thing, no matter what form it takes. Who can deny that email has brought many of us closer together?
What you are witnessing with Twitter is the rush of a novel idea to make some noise, to hear ourselves reverberate in an echo chamber.
It’ll wear off and eventually the raw power of Twitter will take another form to communicate thoughts and ideas, but more importantly these voices will coalesce in all manner of consensus.
Twitter or something like it will become our online fingerprint that will carry the weight of our signature for things like real-time voting in presidential elections. One Twitter, One Vote.
That’s me though, looking through a pair of forward-looking glasses and I could be way off the mark because if companies like Google are allowed to kill off a technology that has been trivialized, never to see the light of day again, then what hope does humanity have against the powerful?
