How to Access Facebook on mobile without Internet

There are already many ways to access your Facebook wall without access to Internet. For example, you can use Facebook SMS and send an SMS to update to your status or use the Voice update that some carriers such as Aircel offer. But, these things still cost you few bucks.
If you’re an Airtel subscriber, here is one good news. Now you can update your status or read your friends updates, even using the most basic black and white feature phone. All you need to have is the ability to dial a USSD code. Don’t know what’s an USSD code? If you can check your balance (for example by dialing *123#), your phone is able to execute USSD codes.
Now, U2opia Mobile, a Singapore based company, using the same technology has developed a platform to access your facebook account for free. At the basic level, you can only update your status and read others updates since USSD doesn’t have the capability to handle graphics, such as images.
Airtel users should dial *325# to get started. You will then be asked to enter your Facebook account’s username and password.

Why Facebook Will Never Have A Dislike Button??

Get answer here..!!
Facebook survives because of it’s detailed efforts to improve the quality of relationships and the interactivity among it’s users. This is bound by a very fragile thread and can be easily damaged with stupid features like the explicit “dislike button”. Here is what i think.

The ongoing discussions and demands by way too many Facebook users for the inclusion of a “dislike button” is provoking. Facebook has been so successful mainly because of it’s fine ability, call it “the key” to connect people and suggest users to make relations possible even with strangers on a positive note. It has come a long way with major refinements in it’s design and has revolutionized the way we socialize “online and even offline”. Sure, promoting relationships is one basic rule for every social driven network to follow, but what makes the best social network really “the best” is only because of the way it handles and promotes relationships among it’s users.
Introducing one bad feature like the ‘dislike button’ can quickly destroy the integrity of Facebook. It would be “anti-social”.
What makes it so inappropriate? Well, lets face it. Facebook doesn’t trust the users to utilize the dislike button wisely and it makes total sense. The chances of the dislike button being misused are very high because of it’s controversial nature and the truth being that no one likes to see the evil “dislike” on their comments and opinions. More positive and least negative feedback enhances the relationship among the members and that is what maximizes the success bar of any social network.
