Facebook for Windows Phone rolls in threaded messaging, tagging, kitchen sink

[![Image][1] ][2]

Some have called Microsoft's [Facebook app][3] for Windows Phone a red-headed stepchild to the [Android][4] and [iOS][5] darlings, but it's making up for lost time in good fashion with a 2.5 update. Those who live a Metro life now get full Facebook conversation threads with group support, so they're not left out of the loop when a friend mentions the pub he wanted to visit two days ago. Along with this more conversational addition, it's now possible to tag a friend or a place in a post using plain "with" and "at" statements, and the [seemingly inescapable Like button][6] has reached comments for Windows Phone owners. There's more control over posts and active post links in the mix as well, so you'll find a surfeit of social mingling when you update at the Windows Phone Marketplace link below.
