how about mark zuckerberg saying that not just users, but major advertisers liked facebook's mobile applicationr than desk top because it's easier to reach people and more engagement than there is on desk top. zuckerberg had a ton of data to verify this bold claim because we're all so used to mobile not making as much money as desk top, including the fact that 40% of users are likely to access facebook on the desk top, 70% use it on mobile and the advertisers would rather see it on mobile. why wasn't this obvious before? because it wasn't happening. i got the sense that facebook switched to supporting the apple mobile operating system greatly hastened this move. and it's led to a real bonanza. remember the iphone, this is now supporting the iphone, which is intriguing everyone from are procter & gamble, walmart amazon, and capital one. maybe the latter's terrific quarter, capital one, could be pinned in part on their facebook campaign. the best bank quarter we've seen. how strong of a case did facebook make for a quarter on the call? let me put it this way, it would not surprise me to see gm ba
