Admob, a company that delivers ads to cellphones, has expanded in part by selling ads for other mobile services such as IM chat. It is now selling ads on Facebook. These ads will appear on mobile applications that use Facebook’s mobile platform.

Admob claims its serves more than 1.5 billion ads a month globally.
