In Facebook’s quest to connect the world, app reaches emerging markets

Facebook is reaching out to emerging markets where it hasn’t made much of an imprint — and it’s working.

The world’s largest social network announced on Sunday that it has more than 100 million monthly users for its Facebook For Every Phone, a streamlined app for non-smartphones. The app was designed to work on more than 3,000 feature phones, which are low-end cell phones that don’t have the compute power of smartphones.
