What is Dabr? http://dabr.co.uk/
Dabr is a mobile web interface to Twitter's API. It has been described as m.twitter.com on steroids, and tries to provide as much mobile functionality as possible.
It's an open source project created and maintained by @davidcarrington, inspired by some suggestions from @whatleydude - who remains a keen user and strategic advisor on many of the features that make dabr what it is today.
The project is built on your feedback, literally! Your ideas aren't just welcome, but are the driving force that makes Dabr improve and hopefully be your mobile twitter client of choice. So please get in touch :)
Thanks

Security
When putting your Twitter username and password into an unofficial site or application, there is always a risk that your details will be abused. Twitter is now slowly pushing towards using a new form of login called OAuth where you do not need to give out your password. While Dabr now supports this new method, the easiest and most fully featured way of accessing the site from a mobile is to carry on using your username and password.
Dabr.co.uk has never stored user's passwords on the server. Regardless of your login method, your details will only be stored in an encrypted cookie on your own computer.
