With the social networking craze being so important to Web 2.0, the Facebook™ App is one of the more important and useful applications you can download for the iPod Touch and iPhone.

The Facebook App implements the most important features of the Facebook website into a specially formatted application designed specifically for the iPod Touch and iPhone’s smaller screen.

When you initially launch the Facebook App, you are taken to the home screen where any updates or News from your friends and contacts are displayed. There are tabs at the top of the Home screen : Notifications and Requests.

Any notifications that are sent to you either from facebook, groups you are associated with, or applications or games you play wil appear in the notification tab. If you receive any new Friend Requests, they will appear under the Requests tab.

There are also buttons at the top of the Home screen for submitting a post or a picture contained on the iPod/iPhone’s Photo Library.

Navigating away from the Home screen, there is an icon at the bottom for your profile usually labeled with your name. Under your profile screen, you will find your Wall where you can post information about yourself or what you are currently doing. There is an Info tab at the top of the screen that shows all the Information you wish to share about yourself such as your age, sex, email address, and particulars. There is also a tab for Photos where you can post recent photos of events in your life or recent pictures of yourself or your friends and family.

Next to your profile, there are the friends link which shows your friends list in alphabetic order. The Chat link which takes you to facebook chat is the next link over and finally the Inbox where you can view any messages sent to you from other facebook users.

All the basic functionality of the Facebook website is implemented in the Facebook App, I would highly recommend avid Facebook users download this application.
