I guess I m indirectly advertising just to give an idea of some developments
in the social networking world :

Looks like facebook makes its content freely available,
through an optimized platform

0.facebook.com

enabling access of text content for free on your internet enabled mobile
phone,
through a deal with telephone operators.

The business model makes you pay for access to pictures or videos.

more in English :

" 0.facebook.com is a new mobile site that includes all of the key features
of Facebook but is optimized for speed. It initially is available through
more than 50 mobile operators in 45 countries and territories with zero data
charges. "
