*New* - Now Twitter works with the Twitter app on your mobile device!
A Twitter account is needed before you can use the skill. Twitter Reader can read your home Timeline, Mentions, Retweets and Likes. You can also discover Trends by location.
Here’s some of the ways you can use the Twitter Reader skill:
Latest Tweets from Your Home Timeline: Alexa, ask Twitter what is happening?
Trending Tweets Near You: Alexa, see what's trending in Twitter
Trending Tweets at a Location: Alexa, ask Twitter for trends in Seattle
Mentions: Alexa, ask Twitter for my mentions
Retweets: Alexa, ask Twitter has anyone retweeted me?

You can also get more information about a particular Tweet or Trend. After listening to a list of trends you can say “tell me more about number 5” to hear a list of tweets for the fifth trend you heard. After listening to a list of Tweets, you can say “tell me more about number 2” to hear more information about the second Tweet you heard.
