Twitter has worked on a mobile site for its social networking and microblogging service.
Leland Rechis, who leads the user experience on the @twittermobile team, said the mobile team have built a brand new mobile web client from scratch using only Twitter APIs.
Although no launch date has been given it is expected to be rolled out soon.
“Our new mobile web site is previewing today, just point your phone’s browser to http://mobile.twitter.com. 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. Let us know if you agree and especially tell us how we can make it better,” according to a posting.
The preview version of the new mobile Twitter site worked best on @Webkit browsers, which include Android, iPhone, Nokia S60 and Palm Web OS phones. While the preview will run on the BlackBerry, the team has not yet finished work on that platform.
