    If you have internet access on your phone. “Boopsie” a mobile search engine has channel just for Facebook where you can reach “Facebook Friends.” It provides a very nice interface to and seeing newfeeds, etc. It’s also really fast, it maybe in a smaller format but you can use it while you’re in class. Just go to http://www.boopsie.com to get the application. Can also use Boopsie for anything else it’s so fast. It has a “smart prefix” function where your results come up as you type and you don’t even have to type complete words to get the right results. If you’re looking for “John smith”, “jo sm” will still find your friend. Give it a try works on pretty much all mobile phones.
