Most of us are now used to the ‘new new Twitter’ which launched late last year. Anyone who accesses the social network from a feature phone is about to deal with the same adjustment.
Twitter today announced that it has updated its mobile web site in what it says is an “effort to give every person on the planet a consistent Twitter experience”.

So, if the social network is to be believed, anyone using a feature phone or working on older browsers or low bandwidth networks can now do all the same things on Twitter as people using smartphones and the web.
According to Twitter, you can “see all the Tweets from the accounts you follow in the Home tab and check your @mentions in the Connect tab. You can see what’s trending in the Discover tab, and access your direct messages and Tweets in the Me tab”.
It also claims that the new mobile version of the service is as fast and the iPhone and Android apps and uses a third less bandwidth than its predecessor.
