Yes, besides having YouTube on your Rogers mobile phone through Rogers Vision, now you can get Facebook as well. Of course with Rogers Vision, you need to have a phone that supports that. This is what Rogers says about accessing Facebook on your mobile phone:
Everything you love about Facebook is now on your wireless phone. Poke, get messages, find family and friends — it's all here!
To access Facebook, launch your mobile Internet browser and click on Facebook or text FB to 4751 and we'll send you the link!
Facebook costs 5¢ per KB or as per your mobile Internet plan. Can't get enough of Facebook? Get a mobile Internet plan and browse for less. Plans start as low as $5/month for 5MB or $10/month for 10MB.
I suppose if you really need to be in contact and have to use Facebook, then this is a good service. Otherwise, you could probably just wait to get back to a computer with Internet access to use Facebook. I mean do you have to really have Facebook on your mobile. I guess if you're paying an mobile Internet plan, then it's ok.
It looks like Facebook is becoming the social network OS, and with the ability to create Facebook applications and opening up the API to developers, it does look like Facebook has the capability to become the social OS of the internet on the web. Now, since Facebook is getting into the OS and applications arena, it's going to compete with Google, Yahoo and Microsoft. Facebook resisted the buyout from Yahoo, so it looks like Mark Zuckerberg has something up his sleeve with his creation.
