Our life goes on in real time and we want to talk about it in the same mode. Today, mobile phones allow people to go online while on the go and talk about what is happening around them right now.
When the Giants won the World Series last week and celebrated baseball fans filled the streets of San Francisco, I immediately grabbed the phone to take a picture of it and put it on Facebook. Within a few minutes, my friends were rushing to comment on my photographs and put their likes on ¬ here it is, an instant mobile social reward.

And I'm not the only one. Facebook reached an important mark last month - 200 million people
come on Facebook through various mobile platforms, it is three times more than last year.
New Facebook apps for iPhone and Android should make Facebook's mobile use even more intense. The same is true of launching the Single Sign-on system, which should simplify access to mobile applications.
Places and Groups on Android
The new version of the Facebook application for Android (1.4) adds Places and Groups to the functionality of the program. Now you can celebrate your favorite restaurant in a favebook, go to a museum, visit a company, or visit any other place from your Android phone.
[NB: Places not yet available in Russia]
Right after the launch of a new type of group on Facebook.com, we offer the opportunity to work with the same groups on Android phones. Create a group for poker partners and collect them for a weekend game simply by sending them messages directly from the phone.
In addition, in version 1.4 for Android, the reminder function has been updated in response to numerous requests from users. Viewing reminders will no longer open the browser. Instead, provided that the reminder object has its own “place” in the application, the corresponding section of the application will open.
The Facebook version for iPhone 3.3 now also supports new Groups and offers improved tools for updating status with more convenient and faster photo upload.
Single sign-on
Now that you are logged in to Facebook, it will be easier for you to log in to other applications on your phone using a Single Sign-In. You no longer need to be nervous and enter a username and password on the tiny keypad of the phone, once again invent and memorize data to enter the application.
How does Single Sign-On ( video ) work: enter your Facebook username and password on your phone; go to any other application on your mobile phone that usually requires entering a username and password. This feature works on any Android phone, iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch devices that support multitasking (most iOS4 devices). We want to save you time so that you can do what you need.
Today, this feature works with Android applications such as: Flixster, Groupon, Loopt, SCVNGR, Yelp and Zynga Poker. IPhone apps will also have unified access soon. It is expected that this feature will be available in other applications.
For many people, their mobile phone is the main communication device with others. We hope that the Single Sign-In and updated applications for the iPhone and Android will help you to be in touch with friends wherever you go.
Everything, I went to free my memory from logins and passwords that I no longer need to remember.
