Only weeks after Facebook mobile chief Erick Tseng said the social networking giant would soon “become a mobile company,” Facebook unveiled several new features to show that it’s quickly moving in that direction.
In blog posts Monday afternoon, the company not only announced its long-awaited iPad application, but also said it was bringing more of its Facebook Platform capabilities to mobile.
"Today, we are extending Facebook Platform on mobile, bringing all the social channels that have helped apps and games reach hundreds of millions of users on the Web to mobile apps and websites,” wrote Facebook engineer Luke Shepard in a post on the company’s Developer Blog.
Although their final form has yet to take shape, Shephard said the new features will make it easier for developers to reach the 350 million people who access Facebook monthly through mobile devices like the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.
