Facebook Mobile Profile - Fixed

Usual “Benjie wrote this post” disclaimers apply - e.g. this post may be tech heavy and too detailed/geeky for some readers.

Recently, one of our users reported that Blog Friends was breaking their mobile profile, and those of their friends - not allowing the profile to be viewed from his mobile. (Your mobile profile is your profile page as seen on a mobile phone/pda by visiting http://m.facebook.com/ ) In theory, this should never have happened - because you are meant to put <fb:mobile> around any content that you want to appear on the mobile pages, and we do not use that tag anywhere. However, it seems it was happening anyway.

We have now updated Blog Friends to use the updated profile.setFBML API method, which has separate entries for regular and mobile mark-up. I can access my mobile profile with no issues - Blog Friends does not show up at all. I hope this fixes this issue - let me know in the comments!

Happy Blog Friend-ing!
