Mobile devices are proving to be an increasingly important gateway for the world’s largest social network.
About one in four of Facebook’s four hundred million users access the service through a mobile device. That’s a slightly higher percentage than in September, when about 22 percent or 65 million of its 300 million users tapped into Facebook through mobile phones.
Right now, Facebook’s priorities are about getting the basics right in terms of bringing the social network to everyone, regardless of their model of phone or quality of network. While there are multiple geolocation-related experiments going on there, the focus is on getting the service to work across a panoply of devices and mobile carriers. Facebook has revamped the mobile version of their site for both feature and touchscreen phones and has worked with more than 80 mobile operators to bring SMS access to life.
