Share your live status on Facebook

Announcements - May 28th, 2008 - Written by Jukka Eklund

One of the things I find bothersome on Facebook is the need to manually keep my profile up-to-date. With this in mind we have developed a simple application that you can put in your profile and it allows your friends to check your status such as calendar availability and location. Since the data is pulled straight from the device it is always up-to-date.

In addition to status data your friends can send you a free text message directly from the profile. Messages appear on the phone just as a normal text message. What am I seeing right now? Your friends can ask a live photo from your device with a single click on the application.

The application is now available for everybody, and requires the latest Mobile Web Server 1.3 beta to run. Let us know what you think!

    Slow as hell, but the concept is very interesting. First time I am trying mobile web server as well. This baby could replace PC Suite in some tasks.

    Right, it’s both a strength and weakness that everything is fetched in real-time from the device. Also the FB platform has to do with the slowness.
