This is really great news, I love using facebook than any other sites & now it is free. This will put other sites like orkut, twitter, etc into dark. No other go they too need to enter the mobile network for free access. This is going to drastically increase the facebook users in India.....

I do not think so.

The arena is so vast; users a miniscule of mobile population; enough space for every social networking community to grow hand in hand with technology advancement.  May be some sites get in early, others will join the band wagon sooner.

I completely agree with Shilpa on this. Orkut is already in death row with this Facebook take the maximum share and twitter and others will have to find other ways to combat the problem.

Definitely, it will impact the other social networking and would give tough competition to existing organization. They need to rebuild their strategy to offer the strong competition in the market.

Free mobile access to Facebook will definitely affect Orkut and other social networking sites. They will also need to look at alternative options to counteract the business strategy of Facebook. It may take the route of e-mails where yahoo, google, hotmail and other mail service providers presently offer e-mail services free of charge....

These so called social networking sites will ultimately fall in line to remain relevant. For short period however, they would lose out to facebook.

Thanks Shilpa for referrals.

Sorry to differ with the debate.  It is another seductive way of subsiding individual's personal life.

Do everyone of us want to be more social than personal?  Anyway mobile has already eaten up lot of time from professional & personal life. 

May there will be a serious need in immediate future to stop this ASAP.

1:I think Orkut can also be accessed in Mobile Phones

2:Majority of the Indians use Orkut; A small part of our population is much bigger than the majority of Americans who use facebook

3:3G already introduced in India, The day is not too far Orkut beats facebook

I agree with Abraham. Every network company is adopting the similar path. How ever the social networking is growing not regional but global. Man is conquering the earth
