Blackberry Vs Imac....Who wins facebook,you decide.

With the technology industry booming in the 21st Century there is no doubt smart phones are taking over the conventional desktop computer.From the latest Iphone with everything you need to run a business,to creating music on an I mac within the comfort of your own homes.                  
                              So why facebook?




"Facebook is a social networking website that was originally designed for college students, but is now open to anyone 13 years of age or older. Facebook users can create and customize their own profiles with photos, videos, and information about themselves. Friends can browse the profiles of other friends and write messages on their pages"

From the layout of the site to the use of colours and hyperlinks.There is no doubt that this social networking site has gripped the nation into updating their status about their day to day lives.Whether your connecting to the site through a smart phone or a computer the main purpose is to update statuses and communicate with friends.But do you really realise how much change their is from a mobile to a computer?

Interface design plays a huge role in the way different webpages are portrayed on various electrical devices.From the megapixels in a laptop to a smart phone the difference must take its tole on various aspects of the content of a webpage.

On the blackberry curve Facebook is a very basic layout with the basic:
wall posts and profile,Sending messages and Add a friend.

When analysing Facebook on an  Imac,the home page is in much more detail. From various hyperlink options to the layout of the whole webpage.These included:
Add as a friend,Send a messages,Wall posts,Groups,Poke and Facebook chat.

This simplicity on a smart phone shows how much technology has developed from the invention of Microsoft Windows in 1989 to the recent release of Windows 7 in 2010.And from the first mobiles phones with only the option to call and now in 2010 you can run a business with a smart phone.
