No Internet? No Problem. Twitter Will Be Available Offline In Emerging Markets

Twitter is working with a Singapore startup to help users with a mobile phone, but no access to the Internet, access tweets.

In partnership with U2opia Mobile, Twitter is targeting customers in emerging markets with this new technology.

Designed to enable customers in emerging markets to access Twitter via their mobile phones without requiring a data connection, the technology requires customers to enter a code on their phone to access certain parts of Twitter.

Trending Topics were the only aspect of Twitter mentioned according to Reuters, with customers being served up a list of localised trends after inputting a code into their phone.
