Milestones: Facebook Passes 65 Million Active Mobile Users
That's the word on the Facebook Blog where the company announced today that, "more than 65 million people now actively using Facebook on their mobile devices — a significant increase from 20 million just eight months ago.
The post continues on to mention both of Facebook's mobile sites:
...designed specifically for touch screen phones like Android, Palm, iPhone and Nokia. These sites have been translated into more than 60 languages and allow you to update your status, browse your News Feed and your friends' Profiles, comment or "like" stories, and view or update your Facebook Page.
The post also mentions accessing the service via text messaging, Facebook for Mobile Devices (like the iPhone) and Facebook Connect (which starts rolling out today) for the mobile web.
Beginning today, you'll start to see Facebook Connect available on some of your mobile sites and applications, just as you would on the Web. Already, Facebook Connect makes it easier for you to take your online identity with you all over the Web, share what you do online with your friends and stay updated on what they're doing.
