Facebook launches Mobile widget for online users

facebook-mobile2.jpgExciting times if you’re a Facebook user (and if you’re not, get with the times Grandad: MySpace is SO ov-ah). The social networking site has launched Platform, an initiative allowing third-party developers to create widgets that users can then add to their profiles.

Among them is one called, simply, Mobile. Developed by Facebook, it ties into the site’s existing mobile features, allowing cameraphone photo uploads for example, and integrating them with user profiles. Other apps under Platform’s ‘Mobile’ category include widgets from SnapVine, Jaxtr and Tiny Pictures.
