Via the Facebook blog, we learn that you now can both browse and use the site with your mobile phone.
Mobile Web lets you surf Facebook on your phone just like the normal website… except that it actually fits on the screen. Mobile Uploads lets you send photos and notes to Facebook when you’re out and about. We know from experience that really cool things are likely to happen when you’re not sitting in front of a computer. Mobile Texts lets you send and receive Facebook messages, wall posts and pokes using text messages, plus you can update your status and search profiles from your phone. Remember that time when you needed to call someone, didn’t have their number, but you knew that it was on Facebook? Yeah, that was the worst. Fear no more.
If I was building a community today I would make mobile accessibility one of the cornerstones. You want people to communicate and network, right? Well, get the users hooked even on the go, it’s as simple as that. Good call, Facebook.
