Facebook mobile users increase by 300 percent

12 November 2008 15:06 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 6 comments

Facebook has noted that use of its Facebook Mobile products have tripled since the end of 2007 and that the popularity has caught the company off guard.

Wayne Chang, an engineer on Facebook's mobile team, wrote today that use increased from 5 million active users to a current 15 million.

BlackBerry, iPhone, Palm and Windows Mobile users can access Facebook through dedicated third party apps and normal mobile phone users can access the site via any mobile browser.

Because of the increased growth in mobile usage, Facebook has now expanded its mobile team and will continue to improve the features of the offering.

I wonder what MySpace's mobile statistics are? It seems their ad-cluttered interface would not be so amenable to mobile usage, to me. [ + quote]

While I enjoy the app for the iphone, crashes and bugs leave things to be desired. But I do have to say that the upgrade from 1.0 to 2.0 was a drastic difference. [ + quote]
