Are you ready to 'Touch Facebook' on your Windows Phone?

Published by at

Although there is an official Windows Phone application for Facebook, there are alternative ways to access the social network. The People Hub is one of them, but Projekt Goteborg has another way. Touch Facebook brings Facebook's touch enabled mobile version to the App screen of your smartphone.

Touch Facebook is a wrapper application, which uses the touch enabled version of Facebook's mobile site. While you could bookmark the site in Internet Explorer (as I have), wrapping it in an application has a number of advantages.

The main one is a dedicated menu bar. A quick tap in the Touch Facebook app, and you have options to jump to the Facebook homepage, your profile, Facebook Chat, or to post a status update, as well as all your Facebook settings. You also have app showing up in the task switcher for quick access.

It's a different way of looking at Facebook, and you loose all the Windows Phone UI styling in place of a long 'ribbon' approach to the content, but this may be suited to how you use Facebook.

Touch Facebook is a free app, so there's no harm in trying it out and seeing if it works for you. You can find it on our App Directory.
