Facebook earnings will offer insight into mobile
Is Facebook managing the transition to mobile as well as Google? We’ll find out this week.

Facebook releases first-quarter results after the close of markets Wednesday. Equity analysts who cover the company expect, on average, that sales rose 36% to $1.4 billion, helped by more sales of mobile ads.
Mobile ads are key to Facebook’s future revenue growth because users who access the social network from smartphones or tablets tend to be more active than those who do so from desktop PCs. The downside is that

One survey suggests that nine out of 10 American employees now use their smartphones for work, and BYOD (bring-your-own-device) has become a catchword in IT departments. As moves toward new technology often do, this one has created its share of naïve optimism. An Intel study found that managers cite increased productivity, more than any other benefit, as a reason for allowing employees to work from their personal devices.
