“I really have to thank Facebook. When I first heard about the campaign to get me to host Saturday Night Live I didn’t know what Facebook was. And now that I do know what it is I have to say . . . it sounds like a huge waste of time.” – Betty White

Why isn’t there a Facebook iPad app? Seriously. What’s going on down at the Facebook HQ that they are so busy they don’t have the time to create an iPad Facebook app? Is the entire staff of Facebook volunteering their time cleaning up the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico? Is Mark Zuckerberg busy dancing on this season’s Dancing with the Stars? Seriously? ABC, Netflix, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Weather Channel, Google, Entertainment Weekly, Pandora, IMDB all had iPad apps ready to go for the launch of the iPad that was announced months earlier. These are all major companies and yet they were able to mobilize in time to create an app that was an amazing and unique iPad experience of their core websites. And yet here we are over 30 days after the initial launch of the iPad and nothing from Facebook.

Of course, the Facebook iPhone app works on the iPad. But you have one of two poor choices. You can use the iPhone app on the iPad in it’s original iPhone size which just looks silly in the middle of the giant iPad screen or you can blow it up to twice the size. And then it looks just like you’d expect something that’s been blown up to twice it’s size to look. Like crap.

Attention, Facebook, Apple has sold a million iPad’s so far and that’s just in the US. It’s time to sit up and take notice. It’s time to create an app that will make Facebook come to life on the iPad. Oh yeah, and while we’re talking, cut out all this invasive privacy policy stuff. It’s creepy. Peace out.
