GLOBAL - The number of people accessing Facebook from their mobile has passed the 100 million mark. As the social networking site celebrates its sixth birthday this month, figures show that the number of mobile users has doubled in the last six months, following a sharp rise in September 09.
This milestone figure should finally persuade sceptical marketers who dismissed social networking as a passing fad.
The total number of registered users currently stands at 400 million. As friends and groups on the site post and share news with one another, Facebook has now become the fourth largest online distributor of news, behind Google, Yahoo and MSN.
