Where is the 'Like' button and why on earth can you only see the original status posted by a friend and not any comments made about that status???
I Commented on a friends status only to find out (logged on from my PC) that 4 other people had already commented and so my comment made no sense! lol

Yeah I must say coming from the iPhone the facebook app on win mob is terrible! Ok I know its pretty sad saying that but tbh before having my iPhone I didn't use facebook much but because the facebook app on the iPhone was such a pleasure to use I really got in to it... I'm having to use facebook on opera now.
Dump the FB app, it's utterly useless.
Use http://touch.facebook.com instead. Better, faster, and works awesome in Opera.
Thats what I have been using shame there isnt a facebook app that works though..

I'm not hugely into FB but it would of been nice to at least be able to use it as it's a preinstalled app!!
Considering the guy who developed the iphone version of facebook app fell out with apple due to its ridiculous app store approval process, they should get him to make a WM version!

Been using the touch.facebook.com for a few days now and you guys are right so much better then the app for WM... but just wondering if anyone else is having an issue with it being slow to update news feeds? Seems to be way behind at times!
ive had that problemw ith the touch site, but the main diffeerence for me between the iPhone app, is the lack of facebook chat, thats a nice feature!
Thanks for the heads-up regarding touch.facebook - didn't know about that! The winmo facebook ap is not very fully featured at all, which is a shame, because it wouldn't be a difficult application to write. That said, browsing being as good as it is on the HD2, i usually just visit the full facebook site. With pinch zooming i find it a breeze to navigate. Touch is probably a more sensible option though i guess. Just replaced my facebook ap quicklink with the facebook touch bookmark

Yeah, at the bottom is a link to "Mobile Site" which is m.facebook.com I think - that has the news feed issue fixed, but isn't as finger-friendly (it's not bad tho).
Neither of them allow you to view or tag photos very well IMO, a decent FB WinMo app would be very welcome.

Anybody have a good facebook for the vogue..i have tried snap2face and friendmobilizer and none have compared to the iphone/blackberry facebook apps so just wondering if there are goood facebook apps out there that i havent seen.
Thanks
Iv heard other people say Skyfire works pretty well for facebook but I dont know of any dedicated app just for facebook.
Well If iphone has it and so do blackberry whats keeping us form having one?
i now use skyfire, its works well imho. i've also tried an app called skybook, however i didnt like that at all, one of its tabs crashed it and it was kinda buggy in general. i definitely agree that an app would be nice though.

Why not try the Facebook app that was just ripped and built up from the WinMo 6.5 version and now for the Vogue over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489379

Wow i searched that..dont know how i missed it..works amazing thank you!
Yeah, the 6.5 App is pretty awesome, though somewhat limited - and by the way, this app works great for FB Chat.
apart from the official facebook app are there any alternatives to it because its a bit of a hit and miss for me.
Nope not really mate..
There is touch.facebook.com though in your browser
Yeah, the 'official' ones always seem to be a bit picky - apart from the Apple one it seems... I've had comments fail to post using the WM Marketplace version of the MS FB app every time when I use the physical QWERTY keyboard, but hardly ever when usin gthe on-screen one, for example. It never failed to post a status update though, on either kb
if you don't like the Touch site, there's always the half-way version at m.facebook.com.
i'm using babbler atm its amazing and notifies you on anything you want instead of just the handfew offered by the official app. gotta say the one for blackberry was actually on par with iphone i gotta say.
Yeah, I used Babbler for quite a while on my G1 - not got around to installing it on the Desire yet. Best thing was that it notified you whenever someone "liked" your status or photo, which no other app does AFAIK
What about bloo? Ive installed that atm cus Babbler seemed slow..
I only had lite though, dunno if pro is faster?
Bloo has always been good IMO
Whats the notifications like? No ones sent me anything yet so i dunno! lol
bloo keeps not letting me read peoples post saying i'm not their friends etc?

what is the best facebook app, if there is multilabels apps for it??
They all suck, try, touch.facebook.com
using the ms facebook app from the windows marketplace, it's limited and a bit buggy but it does work for the basic stuff
Hi,
Try lite.facebook.com on your browser. It's just a lite version of the main site. I tend to use it the most. It has alot more options than the facebook app from the marketplace.
Hope this helps.

I agree. That was a good one. Had a g1 before the hd2 and babbler was one of the best facebook apps. Wish they would make the windows one the same as the iphone app tho.
Heywhat's going on guys?
So I just went from The BB storm to The HD2 (really wanted nexus) But on the BB facebook would update instantly with notification. Is there any app other than the current app on here that has instant notification. It liek refreshes every 2 hrs

I'm coming from the Iphone and I would like to know the same thing.
I'm new too, coming from android. I couldn't find any... And I don't think there is going to be any, not for WM 6.5. When WM 7 comes out, I'm sure there will be one as good as the one on the other platforms.
In a one word answer, NO. You have to refresh the sucker each and everytime. This is the official MS FB app and its been in need of a complete overhaul since it came out. I have text message updates for facebook but that needs to be set up on FB.
Just like most things WinMo....
Search XDA, there is a Facebook thread here by the developers, basically the app sucks and most likely MS isnt gonna do to much with it till WP7. So good luck, and if you havent d/l the 1.2 update for it, get it. It's not great, but it's ok, I guess.
Coming from the iphone which has an awesome fb app to the very ****ty WM app is dissapointing.

There are 50 million iphones out there in the world. If Facebook did not have a good app for them, they'd not be the most popular social networking app.
I don't know how many win mo phones are out there. But the app is never going to be anywhere close to what it is on the iphone.
They even have SDKs for iphone and Androind but nothing for WM (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/mobile/)
I have an app call fim by mosko. it is facebook chat, but it sends notifications as well. ITS FREE
This might have been a thread in the past, but i'm not sure... feel free to direct me to the thread lol.
So anyway, i just wanna know what all of you have as a facebook app.. what facebook app has the most to offer that you choose over the others?
I personally use the facebook for android and bloo 1.5
The reasons: facebook for android- I just like the widget because I can publish my status right on my home screen and see the news feed real fast..
bloo 1.5- I use this because of the real good notification updates and of course, the facebook chat..
I know "to my knowledge" that there really isn't alot of "complete" facebook apps out there, i just wanna know what all of your insights are about using facebook.. thanks guys
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I'm happy with the Facebook app. I use Nimbuzz for FB chat.

lets not start a flame war. If you don't like facebook, don't use it. If you do like facebook, use it. Some people like iPhones over Android. To each their own.
That being said, back to the topic...
I was wondering this too. The stock facebook app sucks at getting notifications. I was thinking about trying bloo. I don't necessarily need chat (ebuddy for that), just notifications.
Removed due to my stupidity...

HUH? My wife says the Android Facebook app is MUCH better and a lot faster than Facebook on her previous phone, ipony 3G.
Facebook app on android is trash.
The good news is that apparently zuckenberg has recently begun using and android phone. Maybe he'll be offended enough to get a proper app built.
I'm sorry, everyone. I guess I kinda did start flames with my comment... I just loathe Facebook a.k.a. MySpace 2.0
It's not that I don't enjoy interacting with friends, but I do that with text messages, phone calls, and real life. I mostly don't like Facebook because of:
1. Bloated, ugly interface
2. Constantly changing (not for the better)
3. Completely bullsh** privacy settings
Anyhoo...

Yes, it is complete trash. Not all posts show sometimes, your own posts don't show sometimes, posts you've commented on would disappear sometimes, the links to videos and sites don't open most of the time, you can't do a lot of the things you could do on the site, and... I don't feel like going on because I don't use Facebook at all anymore, anyway.
I say that having never owned an iAnything, too. Well, I had an iPod Nano once, but I can't stand iTunes, so I sold it.
Hopefully Zuckerberg will improve the Android app for those that use it.

as the previous posts above mine state, android fb app is trash. the iphone fb app allows you to tag photos, ability to view profile photo properly, swipe through fb photo albums (as opposed to the ****ty arrow buttons for android), event viewing, favorites tab, cant think of the other stuff off the top of my head.
they chose to develop the fb app for iphone more thoroughly than the one for android
i use a combo of android FB for widget, Bloo 1.5 for notifications and Go facebook chat pro.
The best Facebook widget I have used so far is Friendstream which is contained in the Desire Rom port. I have yet to find anything as complete in the market for stock Android. I had high hopes for the app Pure Messenger but it still has a ways to go as it currently does not indicate important info within the title of each post. For instance, a post like "thank you, blah blah blah" will lack the beginning tag Susan>Lisa giving no indication who the post is talking about. The other cool thing about Friendstream is that if you open a post with images, they open directly without going to the web site.
It's really hard to believe that there is nothing decent in the entire market for stock android.
I just use a short cut to the touch site, and fachat for chatting. Haven't cared much for the apps, but don't use facebook as much as others either.
Just downloaded the new update for the facebook android app and its a little better. I still hate that when you click on notifications it sends you to the browser

Yeah that it does, but at least now it tells you if you have any notifications. That's one thing fixed
I think in order for it to be usable though, it needs to stop sending users to the browser. If I wanted to use the browser, I would (and actually do have it bookmarked for when the app gets too annoying).
I would like to have integrated chat and a better picture uploading interface now. Baby steps haha.
i hate that photo bar down the bottom!!!
