Facebook apps are now likely to be the most free downloads of iphone Apps

Facebook apps may now be the most popular apps for free downloads on the iphone, though, but Facebook chief technology Officer Blette Thelles Bret Taylor today in San Francisco's Social Networking application Conference (Inside Social Apps) seems to be more excited about the opportunities offered by mobile sites and HTML5. Mr Taylor says Facebook will be doing its best to develop mobile sites and HTML5 businesses this year.

At today's conference, Taylor said the mobile site will become the "top priority" for Facebook's platform team this year. Previously, Facebook had said it was interested in offering social products in a variety of mobile applications. At the same time, Taylor also confirmed that Facebook may still be doing more in the mobile arena, and Taylor specifically mentions the recent progress Facebook has made in this regard, particularly the "single Sign on" feature, launched last November. Single sign-on, referred to as SSO, is one of the most popular solutions for enterprise business integration, defined in multiple application systems where users can access all trusted applications with only one login.

Looking ahead, Taylor says Facebook is not doing enough to support many different platforms. Taylor believes that if Facebook wants to launch a new feature, it must add it to the Facebook.com Web site, including websites with different mobile devices and tablets, and even to a variety of mobile apps. If Facebook encounters problems, it will be a problem for all other developers.

"In the long run, most people really think of HTML5 as a platform for our future," Taylor said. Silicon Valley's technology companies may have taken the lead in this area, but HTML5 will also be a key area for Facebook to invest heavily this year. ”。

The pros and cons of HTML5 and localized applications have been going on for a long time, but in the current situation, although Taylor does not seem to have made a clear comment on either side, he seems to have largely supported HTML5.
