Companies pour tons of money into making sure their product looks amazing on Facebook’s desktop version, but the results don’t always translate into a nice-looking package for mobile users. As Facebook Co-Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg noted in the last earnings report, the number of people who check Facebook from their phone is roughly 600 million and growing. Friend2Friend, a social marketing technology company, released a significant update Wednesday to its Social Engagement Platform, allowing companies to build mobile-first Facebook campaigns.

It seems like you can do pretty much anything through Facebook — register to vote, discover a new playlist, find out which of your friends is in a complicated relationship — except hold a verbal conversation. Wondervoice for Facebook is here to fix that. The new voice-activated iOS application allows users to listen to their news feeds and music their friends are sharing, as well as post status updates, all without lifting a finger.

Facebook’s open graph technology is great for Web applications that want to better connect with users through the social network. But what about mobile apps? There’s still little support (unless an app developer has deep resources) for mobile apps that want to take advantage of open graph. This is a problem that back-end-as-a-service platform Kinvey aims to solve.

People can organize music by genre, artist, title, album date, and just about any other metric you could think of. But what about mood? Facebook application Songza produces playlists based on what types of music the user wants to hear for specific situations. For instance, if a person likes to hear hard rock and is getting ready for a half-marathon, Songza would provide a rockin’ workout playlist. The app was featured Thursday in Facebook’s Developer Spotlight.

Last month at the TechCrunch Disrupt event in San Francisco, Facebook Co-Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said one of the biggest mistakes the company made was relying too much on HTML5.

For people who have photos all over the Web — on Instagram, Facebook, Flickr, Picasa, etc. — Cooliris is a great way to bring all of those images to one place and organize them. Facebook’s developers team thinks highly of the application, as it earned a spotlight on its blog. Cooliris gained a strong following shortly after launch, and the app has taken off on the Facebook platform.
