82% of social network users in South Africa use Facebook, making it the most popular social service locally (Friendship 2.0 survey, 2009). How are all these accessing this mega social site? Many smartphones and slightly advanced feature phones have Facebook apps and/or widgets but the mobile browser remains quite popular with many.
For touchscreen phones, Facebook has what they call a Touch Site at http://touch.facebook.com and it's as feature-rich as any Facebook app I've ever used.
Not only is it pretty, it's also quite easy to use and, as you may have judged from the name, is touch screen finger-friendly, moreso than the dedicated mobile site or even the full site via a mobile browser.
Below are screenshots of my experience on Facebook's Touch Site.
