News in today from NMA that Facebook has more than 150m mobile users. The sheer number of users has prompted Facebook to issue a software update making it easier for developers to integrate Facebook into their Apple apps.
The update, called Facebook SDK for iOS, makes it easier for users to link content from iPhone apps to their Facebook profile to share with their friends.
The software update comes weeks after Facebook issued a software development kit (SDK) for developers using the Google-owned Android platform.
Facebook recently appointed former Google engineer Erick Tseng as its head of mobile products and has been working towards introducing location-based status updates to its portfolio of products.

I believe that using a mobile to check and update networking sites has been the talk of the town since smart phones had been invented and been selling like pancakes to the youngster or to our young professionals. The Applications use made it easier for then to communicate with friends and post something on their wall to update their friends of their whereabouts. Thanks to those smart engineers and of course to smart phone companies! cheers*
