With the amount of mobile users getting full-fledged browsers and flat-rate data connections out there it is important to take into account that mobile users will be wanting to use your the standard desktop website. It is good to give it a prominent place such as in the above example, but the above does lack originality in naming, for what does this mean: ‘View Twitter in Standard’? Does this mean colours will change? or is Standard an alternative browser? A different language? No, it’s a different version of the page with more content, perhaps images etc. I would suggest using telling the user that: ‘View Twitter with rich media content’.
