The Facebook Blog

When we recently added the ability to comment on your friends' status updates to the Facebook mobile site, we didn't expect that we would receive nearly a million status comments in the first 24 hours.

This may not seem like much, but it was actually part of a really important change. As people on Facebook share more and more information each day, status updates have become one of the most popular ways for people to connect quickly and easily on the site. Before, you could only update your status or read other people's from your mobile phone. Now you can converse with your friends on Facebook by commenting on their updates no matter where you are.
People are hungry for interactive mobile features worldwide, and Facebook users are no exception. Usage of our mobile products has grown from 5 million to 15 million active users since the beginning of the year. We have expanded our mobile team and are continuing to make improvements every day.

Our mobile site, m.facebook.com, works on nearly any mobile browser in the world, while our extended mobile site, x.facebook.com, provides a great experience for advanced mobile devices. Facebook SMS allows you to receive notifications or update your status with text messages, and our applications for specific devices, such as Palm, Blackberry and iPhone, allow you to do even more.

With over 3 billion phones in the world, we're working hard to make sure that we have something for everyone.
