m.twitter.com would be even greater if...

Replies will be cool (we won't need sms anymore!) and direct message functionality would make it it much easier as well.

hi everyone,

I agree!

w3lab: if you do build something, share share :-)

FWIW, when I'm on the phone, I mostly use m.twttier.com, but I occasionally use http://itweet.net/ for these reasons
1. they have reply
2. everytime you refresh the page, they'll show you just the new ones since you read last time.
Unfortunately, they're down often and a bit slow, so I still resort to m.twitter.com

I completely agree about wanting to have
1. the Replies tab; and
2. access to direct messages
in Twitter mobile.

As to composing direct messages -- you can actually do that in Twitter mobile using the same input box that you use to post updates.

You just need to follow the syntax: 'd username msg' (no quotes)

Ex. d roeland This is a sample direct message

The above input will be interpreted by Twitter as a direct mesage to the user named roeland and will be sent provided that roeland is following the sender. And since it is a direct message, it will not appear in your public timeline.

Note however, that the "username" must be the Twitter username that appears in the recipient's Twitter profile.

Also, some people make the mistake of starting the message with "droeland" with no space after the 'd' (I think they're been so conditioned by concatenating the @ symbol, such as @roeland). Since Twitter doesn't see the 'd' it treats messages like that as regular Twitter updates, and those therefore are NOT private.

Please please put a replies tab/link in m.twitter!

Time and time again I've missed stuff being mobile because with a large following list the replies zoom past the (understandably) short m.twitter page.

Bring it on!

replies tab/link on m.twitter!

Hi guys & gals. In order to use twitter on a mobile site smoothly i've setup a clientsite for mobile phones which utilizes the Twitter API and giving you almost all Twitter options as you would have on the regular site.

It'd also be....really cool if there was a better layout for the m.twitter.com....You know? Something a little cooler? More appealing? Something that actually appealsto the eye more? Eh? Eh?? Get what I'm saying? Appeeaa~lling?
