In a TechCrunch interview posted online yesterday, Mr Zuckerberg said Facebook's goal was to "be everywhere and everything, be social rather than a specific device".

"We're not trying to compete with Apple or the Droid (mobile phone from Motorola) or any other hardware manufacturer for that matter."

Facebook arranged for the interview to dispel speculation that the Palo Alto, California, company was working on a mobile phone.

Mr Zuckerberg told TechCrunch that rumours may have resulted from mistaken interpretation of Facebook's efforts to infuse its services and features in the gamut of mobile devices.

"Our goal is to make it so that we can design the best integrations in the widest variety of phones," Mr Zuckerberg said, stressing that Facebook was not building a mobile operating system or hardware "from scratch".

Software can make mobile phones more personalised and social by letting people sign in the way they do to customised homepages at Google, Yahoo! or elsewhere on the internet, according to Mr Zuckerberg.

I knew it'd be so. No sense in Facebook doing everything. Even though THEY could get away with it.
