Still not as easy as just clicking the link you find yourself on if
you're using the mobile Twitter website. I guess it's a choice thing.
Also, the view site menu thing you describe is a little flaky and I
can't quite suss how it behaves or how it's meant to behave. But it's
not half bad, I agree and I use it in conjunction with the mobile site.
As far as I'm aware, Tweets60 also doesn't give you a list of the people
you are following which I find quite handy and it doesn't allow you to
see who other people are following which I also rather like. Yes, I
admit it, I steal other people's friends on Twitter. So much more
interesting than stealing friends on Facebook because this is for the
purposes of seeing other like-minded people and the kind of links they
might be tweeting out.
For what it's worth, a few days ago I slammed a few thoughts down about
how Twitter is best used and the accessibility of it. I wrote it before
I came across AccessibleTwitter.com by the way. And I came across
accessibletwitter.com through seeing one of leonie Watson's tweets - and
I stole her as a friend from my colleague Emma Tracey when I saw she was
folowing her. Gosh how cyclical. Here's the blog:

I was wanting to post Leonie's great recent blog entry about
accessibletwitter.com but can't find it. Anyone else got it to hand?

Hi Damon,
Yes it is. When you get a tweet with a link, press the select key.
Then arrow down until you hear Key1, View. Then press it. The web site
will open on the page.
All the best
Steve

It's not as easy to click a link. I mainly look at Twitter to read the
links people are posting.

Hi Damon,
How weird. It is much easier to navigate in TweetS60 than it is on the
site.
All the best
Steve

when on my nokia n82, I move between using the mobile twitter site and
the Tweets60 software. I can retweet and reply via tweets60 but I find
it easier
to read and navigate on the site.
Also I notice that tweets60 sometimes doesn't seem to load up all the
tweets
I can see on the mobile web version.
