Eric Tseng is the head of mobile products on Facebook.
The translation is a bit short - due to the details in the description of functions that are not yet available in Russia. If this is very interesting - write, add.
Our life is going on in real time and we want to talk about it in the same mode. Today, mobile phones allow people to go online on the go and talk about what's happening around them right now.
When the Giants won the World Series last week and celebrating baseball fans filled the streets of San Francisco, I immediately grabbed the phone to take a picture of it and post it on Facebook. Within a few minutes, my friends did their best to comment on my photographs and put their “likes” ¬- here it is, an instant mobile social reward.
And I'm not the only one. Last month, Facebook reached an important point - 200 million people
access Facebook through various mobile platforms, which is three times more than last year.
New Facebook apps for iPhone and Android should make Facebook more mobile. The same celis puddles the launch of 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 to the functionality of the program Places and Groups. Now you can celebrate favebook dinner at your favorite restaurant, a trip to the museum, a visit to the company or visit any other place from your Android phone.
[NB: Places are not yet available in Russia]
Right after the launch of the new type of groups on Facebook.com, we offer the opportunity to work with the same groups on Android phones. Create a group for poker partners and get them to play on the weekend just by sending them messages directly from your phone.
In addition, in version 1.4 for Android, the reminder function has been updated in response to numerous requests from users. Viewing the reminder will no longer open the browser. Instead, provided that the subject of the reminder has its own “place” in the application, it will open the corresponding section of the application.
The version of Facebook for iPhone 3.3 now also supports the new Groups and offers improved tools for updating status with more convenient and faster photo uploads.
Single sign on
Now that you are logged into Facebook, it will be easier for you to log in to other applications on your phone using Single Sign-In. You no longer need to be nervous and enter a username and password on a tiny telephone keypad, once again invent and remember data to enter the application.
How Single Sign-On ( video ) works : enter the username and password on Facebook on your phone; go to any other application on your mobile phone that usually requires a username and password. This feature works on any Android phone, iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch that supports multitasking (most iOS4 devices). We want to save you time so you can do what you need.
Today, this feature works with Android apps such as Flixster, Groupon, Loopt, SCVNGR, Yelp, and Zynga Poker. IPhone applications will also receive unified access in the near future. 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 Single Sign-In and updated apps for iPhone and Android help you keep in touch with your friends wherever you go.
That's all, I went to free my memory from logins and passwords, which now I do not need to remember.
