At the 2011 Mobile World Congress HTC has announced two new smartphones, the ChaCha (top) and the Salsa (left), which feature and integrate Facebook in almost every aspect. Both phones feature dedicated Facebook buttons, bringing one touch access to the table.
The phones also incorporate intelligent Facebook features, such as giving the Facebook button the ability to alert you to networking opportunities. An example is when a photo is taken the button may gently pulse to remind of the upload opportunity or when listening to the music you’ll get a little reminder to share what your listening to .
I must say the pulsing reminders would greatly annoy me, but if you are a true Facebook junkie and live in Europe or Asia the ChaCha and Salsa could be a must have.
HTC says both phone will run Android 2.4. You read correctly. Android 2.4! The ChaCha features a full QWERTY keyboard and a 2.6-inch, 480×320-pixel-resolution touch screen, while the Salsa utilizes a touch only design boasting a 3.4-inch, 480×320-pixel-resolution display.
Pricing and U.S. availability has not been release yet.

There’s a lot of stuff on Facebook that I simply don’t understand. However, one thing that I certainly know is that the new News Feed / Live Feed stinks.
I’ve seen tons of people post examples of how to get the “old Facebook” feed back. The short of it is to move “Status Updates” to the default feed on your Facebook home page.
But, it’s not really the same.
You don’t get links, videos and picture updates. I know some now tell people in their status that there is new content (like links, video and pics) on their wall because so many people have moved to the “Status Updates” as default.
If you want to get Status Updates, News Feed, Pics, Links, etc. in your default feed, here’s how. [click to continue…]

So I logged onto Xbox LIVE last night for a little Halo 3 multiplayer, and was surprised to see Facebook on my dashboard.
Sure enough though, Facebook made the official connection to Xbox LIVE yesterday. I haven’t had the chance to give it a full run through (and I’m not sure I really want to connect with all my Facebook friends on my Xbox), but it’s still one of those big steps in our ever-expanding social world.
There’s a lot more detail on the connection over at the Facebook Blog.
