Mobile Facebook users hit 15 million

2008/11/12

The number of users accessing popular social networking site Facebook via their mobile handsets worldwide has reached 15 million, it has been revealed.

Published on the Facebook blog the figures indicate that at the beginning of 2008, five million people accessed the site on mobile devices, before rising to the current level.

This kind of development in the profile of internet use highlights the need for a more comprehensive approach to website monitoring, such as effective software to ensure that both mobile and computer-based website platforms are maintaining uptime.

The site's mobile developer Wayne Chang mentioned the importance of status updates as one of the key Facebook activities conducted on mobiles.

"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," he said.

Facebook was established in 2004 by Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg.ADNFCR-1362-ID-18873237-ADNFCR
