Dalam wawancaranya di TechCrunch Disrupt beberapa hari lalu, Mark Zuckenberg founder Facebook mengungkapkan beberapa fakta. Salah satunya adalah pengguna Facebook pada perangkat bergerak/ponsel jumlahnya lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan pengguna yang menggunakan aplikasi native iOS dan Android. Ia juga optimis dengan fokus pada mobile semakin menambah jumlah pengguna dan menghasilkan uang baik dari iklan ataupun facebook apps ketimbang uang yang dihasilkan dari pengguna yang menggunakan PC desktop.
Jika dilihat di Indonesia, akses internet melalui ponsel juga semakin tinggi ketimbang dari PC desktop. Penggunanya pun kebanyakan akses melalui mobile web, statistik dari StatCounter juga memaparkan sistem operasi yang banyak digunakan di Indonesia.
