\"Twittme<\/p>\n

Twittme is a new mobile Twitter front end. That makes at least six now. What sets Twittme apart from the rest is that it allows creating Tweets longer than 140 characters. The “What are you doing<\/em>” field in Twittme accepts up to 240 characters. Tweets longer than 140 are sent as two successive Tweets. Several desktop clients do this but Twittme is the first mobile web one I’ve seen that does.<\/p>\n

Tweetme is a feature rich client (see the table below to see how it compares with the others). However there is one omission in Twittme that really bugs me. Twitter @IDs and #hashtags in the body of Tweets are un-clickable plain text rather than links<\/strong>. I often click on IDs, especially in retweets. It’s the main way I discover new people to follow. Not being able to click hashtags is a big limitation too as they are the best way to follow live events and to see what others are saying on a topic.<\/p>\n

Also on the Twitter mobile web client front, Dabr and Twitstat have added support for Twitter’s brand new Lists feature<\/a>. Both let you view the lists that you are on and Twitstat lets create new lists as well.<\/p>\n

Below is an updated\u00a0 version of the Twitter mobile client comparison table from my “What\u2019s The Best Twitter Mobile Web Client?<\/a>” post of a year ago. I’ve added Twittme, rechecked page sizes and features for all clients and added rows indicating which clients display advertising and which support OAuth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
