Since everyone is tweeting nowadays, I’ve decided to check how well does this service work in Kindle‘s Basic Web Browser. It turns out to be quite usable. I’ve created a profile using my PC and opened http://twitter.com on Kindle. Both mobile and full versions render correctly in both basic and advanced modes. Advanced mode feels sluggish. However as you can see it’s entirely possible to tweet from Kindle on the go. For faster updates I would recommend using http://m.twitter.com/ with Basic Mode.
Although I’ve created the account – don’t expect me to tweet much. I’d rather spend my time blogging here.
Friendly note…
People don’t “twit,” they “tweet.”

Thanks for noticing :)
That’s why I’ve said – don’t expect me to do it much :)
Does it say “via Kindle” or “via Whispernet” when you do that? That would be cool.
It says “via mobile web”.
I just learned how to do this yesterday as well! I wrote about it on my site because I was so entertained by the notion of Twittering from my Kindle: http://www.kindlenewsandreviews.com/tips-tricks-18-using-twitter-from-your-kindle/
Yup. I’ve been twittering on my Kindle for weeks! Works great!

Just curious, would you know if it is possible to feed the twitter feeds as a blog on kindle?
In order to support it navitely, someone would have to publish tweet feed as a blog on Kindle marketplace. Personally I don’t believe that Amazon would allow such a thing. There are third-party solutions that would let you do that but it wouldn’t be as convenient.
Something worth investigating. Thanks for the feedback.
