Facebook Connect hits mobile internet

Facebook has announced that it now has 65 million users of its mobile application and will now be making its Connect service more widely available.

Social networking site Facebook has announced that its Connect service will now be available on mobile applications.

The news comes after the social networking site announced that 65 million people now use Facebook Mobile.

Henri Moissinac, a member of the Facebook Mobile team writing in his blog, commented that the Connect service will allow people to take their online identity when they use other applications and sites on the mobile web.

He said: "As we celebrate 65 million users, we want you to be able to take Facebook with you wherever you go."

Last week, the Connect link started to become available on several mobile applications, but Mr Moissinac claimed that this would become more common in the future.

The number of Facebook mobile users has increased by 20 million in the past eight months.

Recently the social networking site announced that it would start to use direct response ad units on its main internet site, so that users could be sent samples of products when they type in their address.
