Twitter has recently updated its mobile web application, integrating HTML5 and a introducing a new design very similar to its well-known App for iPhone and iPod Touch. This new mobile website works very well in Safari, replacing its address bar with a fancy menu bar with shortcuts to Twitter’s main features: Timeline, Mentions, Direct Messages, Searches & User Profile. The Timeline has a nice performance with smooth scrolling and also displaying users thumbnails. One cool feature is that tweets now displays images within, saving time to open new web browsers windows to display pics. As a result Twitter came up with fast & cool web app, very similar to its iOS app and with an excellent user experience, just like Twitter’s blog said:

“This web app allows us to provide a high-quality and consistent Twitter experience on high-end touchscreen devices.”

… and they sure achieved this.
