While platform.twitter.com/widgets.js doesn't yet support HTTPS, you can take the inline pop-up Javascript code featured near the bottom of the documentation (the "Optimization" section) and store it on your own server to support HTTPS -- with the added benefit of removing an external dependency.
Javascript is not necessary to use Web Intents, it only makes the pop-up code easier. Web Intents are also accessible from HTML alone. Web Intents are mobile browser ready -- and the Tweet Button has also been upgraded to also work in mobile contexts. @episod <http://twitter.com/episod> - Taylor Singletary On Wed, Mar 30, 2011 at 2:12 PM, Scott Wilcox <[email protected]> wrote: > Another point I consider to be important, when will platform.twitter.comget > HTTPS? > > Scott. > > On 30 Mar 2011, at 22:07, Tom van der Woerdt wrote: > > I wonder...
