Facebook mobile clients don't use the Internet?

The web is not the same as the Internet, though. The web is an open platform built on open protocols on top of the Internet.

Interesting question: What is the Web? HTTP, or HTTP+HTML? Facebook mobile clients use HTTP, so are they using the web?

Huh, this Wikipedia site is pretty nifty, I didn't know I could look stuff up on it, thanks!

You're welcome!

So.... Does the Facebook mobile client count as using the web?

By the definition, yes, though I can't say how FB themselves count it.

I think they are coming from the web vs native app frame.
