Mark Zuckerberg Opens up about Facebook's Mobile Strategy

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged in a half-hour interview this week with TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington and staffer Jason Kincaid that his company is working on mobile phone software - not a Facebook phone. The Los Angeles Times reports.

The idea is to have a mobile platform, not just a service or an application. Facebook is modifying Google’s Android software.

Our goal is to make it so that we can design the best integrations in the widest variety of phones,” Zuckerberg told TechCrunch. “We’re trying to build a social layer for everything. Basically we’re trying to make it so that every app everywhere can be social whether it’s on the Web, or mobile, or other devices.”
