Facebook users accessing the site via a mobile phone will soon be greeted by adverts, says a report.

As early as March, people using Facebook on their phones, could be
served
adverts, according to an
article in the Financial Times. Until now, Facebook has resisted
the
temptation to sell adverts on either its mobile site or app.
“No one has cracked mobile advertising,” Christian Lindholm, a former
Nokia
designer told the paper. “The fundamental problem is the lack of
screen real
estate.”
Facebook declined to comment.
It is unclear as to how the adverts will be displayed and whether they
will be
on just the mobile phone app, or on the mobile version of the site
too.
In 2010 Facebook launched location-based check-in deals, offering
members the
chance to access to deals depending on their destination. However, it
has
yet to take off on a large scale or include local vendors across the
UK.
