Facebook Announces New Mobile Capabilities

Facebook held a press conference at their headquarters this afternoon to announce the new capabilities they are providing to developers of mobile applications. With the new capabilities Facebook aspires to establish itself as a mobile platform. The three features that Facebook introduced today are single sign-on, location APIs, and a deals platform. Our sister site, AllFacebook.com, was in attendance and provided live updates throughout the event.

Single sign-on is intended to enable mobile developers to leverage Facebook’s identity and authentication system so that users don’t have to login as they start different mobile apps.
