One of the biggest problems facing mobile web developers is making sites share the same level of user experience across all platforms. The approach i recomend is to make your application scalable enough to adapt to different screen resolution and features. This means you must know alot about the phone before hand, the response to this usualy “we can possibly collect all that information”. Yes I agree but, we already have people doing this work and donating it as open source.
There are two open source database that i like to use:
These resource files gives us great control over what type of content can be served out to the device requesting information. This means that your mobile site has to intelligently make decision on the information that you are now provided, because now you know screen resolutions, if a the mobile device can handle video. Use this information wisely dont not try to make a use case for everyphone. Group phones based on ability and screen size.
Group devices into categories for example the nextGen Group can be composed of iphone, android, and other touch phones.
Study conducted by Harvard business shows 10% of users generate 90% of the content.

It would be nice to intersect this data with are the top 10% Companies pushing out data making it monologue and not 2-way peer-to-peer communication which in the end is the purpose of twitter.
