Share icons. Tweet disappears

Hi all ,
probably missed something , although i did do a search for twiiter and tweet on support and docs.
Is there a reason the tweet button disappears when viewed on small screens mobiles and tablets ?.

It's a shame as twitter is probably the one I use most  especially on the nexus 7 tablet.

Cheers

Re: Share icons. Tweet disappears

Because Twitter intercepts all mobile origins and redirects them to the main page of it's mobile version website, rather than to a mobile "Tweet This Thing" page, which I must say is PRETTY BLOODY STUPID. But that's how it is. So instead of being able to tweet the thing, people pressing the button would just see their followed tweets from the world. The easiest way of dealing with this stupidity is simply to hide the button. I mentioned this someplace; I forget where, but probably on the blog when I added the sharing support ...

Ahhh that makes sense ..  and have noticed that on other sites on the nexus 7 ( even though i have twitter app on it it insists on opening a web page with no option to use app!)

thanks for the reply.
At least there is a twitter account button on the footer smile
