Facebook launches iPhone portal

I agree with the annoying scrolling comment. I worked around this on my iphone blog experiment by providing "Top" and "Bottom" hyperlinks.

It looks great.. it's too bad facebook logs me out of the iPhone app when I log into another browser.. typing my email and password every time gets annoying after a while. (which is probably good for not using facebook too much) :)

Comparing facebook to TMZ hardly seems fair. And uh, you go ahead and conduct business while you've got a few moments of freedom on the crapper. Me, I'd rather enjoy myself and communicate with friends when I've got a spare moment.

So David,
How many friend requests do you have now that every TUAW reader knows you have a facebook?

Great feature, love how they tailored it to the iphone, even deleting messages looks and feels like you're deleting SMS's on the iphone.

BUT: somehow it does not allow for my backspace key to work on its text boxes, does anyone get this problem? If I make a mistake while typing I have to refresh the page to erase my input data....

Tried to see if this iphone bookmark would work on a WM6 phone....No Luck.

I have the Wing by the way.

david miller: you seen the iphone marketed to bussiness types? No, didn't think so.

Great! More useless crap to clog up the Edge towers with. Not like some of us are actually trying to do something called BUSINESS on an iPhone or anything! I got an idea, lets all work together to make sure we can have TMZ iPhone friendly so we can all get the important news of the day! Christ!

#5: I think David hit the nail on the head, but I just wanted to remind you that you can still just go to facebook.com on your iPhone, and get the site in its not-watered-down glory. That's what I've been doing for weeks.

I'm not a facebook freak like some folks, but I've been trying to kinda get into it so I can migrate off of myspace. And when I got the iPhone, I bookmarked their old mobile portal, m.facebook.com. And...it...sucked.

This new mobile portal is a breath of fresh air, and likely to help me start using facebook more. Many thanks to the facebook people for putting time and thought into it.

Now my wish list:
1. I want mobile safari to get an "RSS" button like desktop safari has
2. I want to be able to bookmark RSS feeds from my iPhone
3. I want my RSS bookmarks to show the number of unread headlines on each feed

And all of these things will help me fit facebook, etc, into my life.
