Looks like Facebook wants to redeem itself. It can now be accessed through mobile phone, thanks to the wireless operators who have partnered with the site in coming up with O.facebook.com – a text only version of the social network.It is simple, fast, and free.Operators include Reliance and Videocon in India, T-Mobile in Hungary, and Vodafone in Greece. The new application will be available in 40 countries including Brazil, India, Indonesia, and Turkey. Users can view posts and send messages for free excluding photos and videos which require a standard charge. Facebook targets users who have limited experience on mobile internet as well as those who do not have the latest Apple’s iPhone for instance.Facebook have no financial deals with the operators in providing the service.
It is quite timely this development shoots up when Facebook is being criticized for its privacy settings. Users may have second thoughts in deleting their accounts since at the moment it is the only social networking site who have gone this far.
