The "homely" Facebook

Facebook launched it's new "home" app for Android only which will be available on play store post 12th April. This happened alongside the launch of HTC First, the first phone featuring Facebook home, with a tweaked jelly bean and pre-installed Facebook home app. The home app makes the news feed your home page and integrates very deeply into your phone. Taking messaging very importantly, a new feature of chathead has been introduced where you can message your friends on a single tap. This deep social integration comes with an announcement of advertisement making it's way into Facebook mobile. Zuckerberg had earlier mentioned that they were working for generating revenue out of mobile, well, this maybe it. Will the people be ready for 24X7 Facebook in their face? Will advertisement become an essential part of Facebook mobile? And will the advertisement effect it's users? We need to wait till at least till12th to know about that!
