Just eight months ago, more than 20 million users were actively using Facebook on their mobile devices. Today, the company has announced that that number has more than tripled — bringing the current active userbase to more than 65 million.

The other big news today is that Facebook Connect will now start appearing on mobile sites and in mobile applications (iPhone is already supported).

The same way Facebook Connect makes it easy to login to sites or share information with your friends just by using your Facebook account on your computer, that extensibility will now be available on some mobile websites and apps.

If you’re a developer and want to integrate Facebook Connect for Mobile Web into your own apps or services, you can visit Facebook’s dev center for more information.

Logging onto websites or creating new user accounts isn’t always the easiest proposition when using a mobile device. Simply having the ability to use your Facebook login in your mobile apps is a great step to making staying connected easier and more fluid.

Do you use Facebook more on a mobile device or on your computer?
