Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Twitter has created a speedy new web app for smartphone and tablet users.
The web app has been designed to replicate features you might find in a Twitter client like TweetDeck, HootSuite, Tweetie, Twhirl, or even Twitter’s own “Twitter” mobile app, without the need to download and install anything on your device.
Twitter’s web app takes advantage of new web technologies like html5 to enhance user experience on high-end touchscreen devices.
“This web app allows us to provide a high-quality and consistent Twitter experience on high-end touchscreen devices – whether or not an official Twitter application is available,” announced Twitter in a May 11 blog post.
“[I]t’s simple – it’s easy-to-use and has the features you’d expect from a Twitter application, including your timeline, @mentions, messages that you can read in conversation view, search, trending topics, lists, and more.”
The new version of Twitter’s mobile and tablet site will soon be accessible to smartphone and tablet users when they visit twitter.com on their device.
A small percentage of users will see the new web app when visiting twitter.com on their iPhone, iPod Touch and Android smartphones today. Others will start to see the app in the coming weeks as it is rolled out.
