Feature Request: Share Box from Tweet button optimized for mobile device

[KevinB‏]

Thanks for the official Tweet Button - it's nice to have something
familiar and consistent for our users.

Our current implementation is to have a Tweet button on a mobile
website. Functionally it works great, but the Share Box (and login, if
necessary) don't work very well on a mobile device (iPhone, in
particular - I haven't tested in Android). The fixed width:

http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button_faq#dimensions

helps a little bit, but the form fields and labels are still quite
small since the device zooms out the page to fit everything in it.
This requires the user to zoom in to be able to see exactly what's
going on. And if I don't use the actual button and just open
twitter.com/share with a querystring, it's even worse b/c of the
iPhone's assumption that web pages are 960px wide.

My request is that the HTML/CSS of the Share Box login and post be
updated with CSS media queries (or a separate page) to accommodate the
smaller screen.

thanks!

Hi Kevin,

This is a feature on the teams roadmap. We don't have a timeline for when or if this will be implemented but we know it's something developers would like to see. If anything does happen it will be communicated either through @twitterapi or this mailing list.

Hi Kevin,

+2 from me. We would put this little puppy on some big traffic mobile
sites; carriers, publishers etc.

Currently what is the easiset, cleanest solution for tweeting stories
from smaller screens? Ideally not using JS. My guess is we:

1. produce our own version/s of a tweet button and share box?
2. generate & install shortened url's in that box?
3. Call up a mobile friendly authentification dialogue screen
presuming such exist?
4. POST using REST API?
5. Can we get the count back, in any form?

Am I missing something important?

thanks,

Dales
