Social networking site Facebook has created a version of its website specifically for users of Apple's iPhone.
Facebook for iPhone recreates the website in a width and height more suitable for the phone's size, with more prominent buttons and links to make them easier to access using a touchscreen.
The site includes all the normal features of the main Facebook web version, including news feed, messaging and status updates.
"The iPhone has not even been out for two months but has already changed the way people think about the mobile web," Facebook engineer Joe Hewitt wrote on the company's official blog.
"Today we are taking our first step into that new mobile world with a new Facebook website designed just for iPhone."
News aggregation sites Digg and NetVibes have already created versions of their services to work on the iPhone.
Book publisher HarperCollins has launched a new e-book service designed to work specifically with the gadget.

Optimization?
If Apple touts their Safari web browser on the iPhone as the real, live internet, then why are all these companies optimizing their websites for it?! Sounds like the "watered-down" version of the internet to me. www.iphailure.com

thats where your wrong! Its in no way watered down! I'm always on facebook, myspace and every other site possible. These people just have nothing better to do but waste their time. It seems as if they want to say that, "we took part in or had a hand in the so called iPhone sensation." I do everything on my iPhone on facebook and other sites just as I would if I was on a laptop. You sound as if you dont even own an iPhone so you shouldn't make comments about something you know nothing about.
