How do I get access to the new web version? On the twitter site is says to download the new app which I did so now how do I get the new web version?


Open the app and log in, it seems to set some kind of flag on your account. Then after a refresh on the desktop, the new client appears.

Interesting technique, are they trying to drive downloads of the mobile client or are they using "people who can/will download the latest mobile client" as a proxy to select power users to test the new interface on?


Got it finally! It took about an hour just refreshed again and it is there.

I am not a power user. Perhaps they found that more people tweet from mobile devices that is why they doing it this way?
