A few years ago there were only a handful of Facebook applications that were great for people who were interested in using Facebook from their mobile phones. These applications were primarily simple applications like Facebook Mobile and Facebook for Blackberry which were specifically intended to bring the Facebook experience to the mobile phone.
Two things have changed in this area in the past few years. First of all, there are loads more people on Facebook which has translated into the creation of many, many new types of Facebook applications. And secondly, the advances in mobile phone technology and mobile wireless Internet have made it so that a large percentage of cell phone users can now easily access their Facebook profiles on their cell phones without any special applications.
What all of this means is that the best Facebook applications for mobile phone users are no longer those applications that bring Facebook to a cell phone but instead are those Facebook applications that make the most sense for users who are on the go. People who regularly update their Facebook status from their mobile phones while conducting their daily affairs may want to look at adding the following ten Facebook applications to their social networking site:
1. Utterli. This is an application that allows you to use your mobile phone as a platform for updating your Facebook profile without actually requiring you to go to the Facebook page. You can call a voice number or send a message via SMS/MMS to upload voice data, pictures, videos or text. The information goes straight to your Facebook profile. This one is good for people who don’t necessarily want to get sucked in to spending time on Facebook on their mobile phones but who want to update their profile often.
2. The Bar Book. Facebook is all about social networking and what better way to do that than over drinks? This Facebook application lets you stay on top of the latest news about your area’s nightlife. You can upload photos and tag events through this application. So this means that while you’re out and about, you can turn on your mobile Facebook and tell others where to find out or you can browse for bars that might be better than the one that you’re at! A Facebook application similar to this one that is currently available in the US only is Hangouts.
3. Testimonials. This is a Facebook application designed to allow you to collect professional testimonials and references in one spot. It’s great for mobile Facebook users because you can encourage the people you are with to quickly add a testimonial for you from your phone. Every time someone comments on your job well done, grab your mobile phone and ask them to put it on Facebook!
4. TooDooz Project Management. This is a really cool business application for Facebook users who want to do project management tracking and tasking through the site. Since so many of us need to work on the go, it’s a great tool for people who have added it to their Facebook pages and then can access Facebook from their advanced mobile phones.
5. Local Picks. This is for people who regularly dine out at restaurants and who want to be able to use their mobile Facebook to get suggestions about the best places to eat. You add the application to your Facebook profile and recommendations are made. You can check these recommendations any time that you log on to Facebook including when you check Facebook from your mobile phone. So, you’re driving along and you get hungry … just check Local Picks for a good restaurant near your location.
6. Check It Out. This is a money-saving Facebook application that allows you and your Facebook friends to update one another about the best savings on different items that you regularly purchase. The reason that this is great for mobile Facebook users is because of the convenience of being able to use this while you’re out and about in the world. Just access your mobile Facebook page from your cell phone while you’re out shopping and see if there are deals relevant to what you’re buying. Plus, if you see a good deal while you’re out then you just go to your mobile Facebook page and add the info while it’s still fresh in your mind.
7. SpeedDate. This is a Facebook application for people who want to use the site to meet other people they may be interested in dating. It essentially turns your Facebook profile into an online dating profile. The reason that this one is great for mobile Facebook users is simply because it makes your day so much more interesting. Anytime that you’ve got a little bit of downtime at the office, you can sign on to your mobile Facebook and see what kind of dating hits you’re getting from the app. Suddenly, life is a lot less dull!
8. Dopplr. This is a Facebook application for people who travel regularly. You add it to your Facebook profile and then update it with information about your upcoming travels. That information is then worked into your profile. When you’re traveling, your profile will be automatically updated with information about where you are. While traveling, you can check your Facebook to see what other people have on their Dopplr applications. Maybe someone else is traveling near you?
9. Mirror Blog. Bloggers who use Facebook may be interested in updating their various blogs without leaving the Facebook page which is exactly what this application allows you to do. Live bloggers and highly active bloggers may find it easiest to do this through their mobile Facebook. It’s multi-tasking for the modern mobile world.
10. Horoscopes Apps. Facebook has loads of applications to give you your daily horoscopes. It’s something fun to check out when you’re waiting in a line somewhere and just browsing through your mobile Facebook to kill time.
