Julie Ask, a JupiterResearch analyst who covers the wireless space, called Facebook's 15 million mobile users "a big milestone," in a blog post. "I think this number will only continue to grow and everyone in the ecosystem will benefit."
She also noted Facebook, and social networking in general, will benefit from the trend toward cell phones with larger screens and full keyboards. The more users post to the mobile site, the more often others will check in for responses, and that "virtuous circle" will help social networking expand on mobile devices.--Mark Walsh
