Dave Fetterman, “Bridging the Desktop and Mobile Web Divide Through the Social Graph”

April 13th, 2010 · View Comments · mobile, social

Interesting Where 2.0 talk from Dave Fetterman, creator of Facebook Platform and leader of the Facebook mobile engineering team: “Bridging the Desktop and Mobile Web Divide Through the Social Graph. It’s safe to say he’s excited by mobile :)

  • There are over 100 million Facebook mobile users.
  • Facebook mobile users are twice as engaged as web site only users.
  • Facebook have SMS deals with 220 mobile operators!
  • Facebook have two versions of their mobile websites, one designed to support touch and another traditional WAP input.
  • Some of the most active countries include Indonesia, Kenya and South Africa.
  • Hints that the next wave of development comes from deep integration with manufactures – i.e. on home screen, address book. Android developers should look at using “Intents” to hook into other OS or app events (i.e. post photo to Facebook from phone gallery).
