I agree with not supporting any service that won't interconnect or work with browsers.

But, let's not forget that the majority of twitter users were on mobile.

In many parts of the world, mobile *is* the internet.

Mobile only users tend to be younger, less wealthy, less likely to be white, and more likely to from outside the US.

The flipside is don't skimp on mobile. It's essential.

I did a poll and users here lean more to desktop than twitter. It's a huge factor in many issues.

@futurebird Having sites work well on mobile is obviously an important goal.

But while there are people in the world who don't understand that "the Web" and "Facebook" are different things... those people are wrong, deceived, and behaving against their own self interest. That misconception should not be encouraged.

I think this is less an education issue about understand what is and isn't the web and more of a "many people aren't rich enough to have a desktop computer and high speed home internet service AND maintain a cellphone so they pick one." Guess which one?
