twitter was already accessible on the mobile phone through text messaging of course but now it’s also accessible through a ‘mobile web’ interface at m.twitter.com, this means you can now also send your messages connected with your phone to a wi-fi network (or over 3G if you have a flat rate plan). This is a great new option for people like me who spend around 80 % of their time using the mobile phone when not ‘on the move‘ – I mean in a place (home, office, friends) with a wi-fi connection around, so obviously I prefer to connect to such a network when available.

I haven’t been twittering too much before since I didn’t really saw the added value of it using Skype or other IM apps already while communicating with others from my laptop and sending a ‘tweet’ to the UK twitter number from my mobile cost me 0,60 Euro – price of an international SMS in Spain, huh! – sending a couple of tweets/day at this rate would easily become an expensive hobby.

But since I discovered Twitterrific I have the app always on. For the ones who still don’t see the utility of twitter, tweets with your global friends are just fun but above all, news is spreaded faster these days on twitter than anywhere else it seems. For example yesterday I saw a tweet from Kelly trying out the m.twitter.com, I tried it out myself and sended “1st tweet from m.twitter.com hurray!“, then the news was anounced on Mashable and other blogs; and today, I received the tweet from All About Symbian for this weeks Carnival of the Mobilists #72 before I saw it on any other blog…
