At this point even our Great Grandmothers are updating their Facebook statuses from 3.0, but just in case you haven’t yet heard… Facebook 3.0 for the iPhone went live in the App Store yesterday afternoon. While the number of tips emails we’ve received suggests everyone is already pretty well aware of this fact, we’re playing it safe. Changes:

• See your upcoming Events and RSVP
• See your friends’ birthdays
• See Pages and post updates and photos to Pages you administer
• Write Notes and read your friends’ Notes
• Upload videos from an iPhone 3GS
• Upload photos to any album
• Complete photo management (create albums, delete albums, delete photos, delete photo tags)
• Change your Profile Picture
• Zoom into photos
• Like posts and photos
• See the same News Feed as the Facebook website
• Visit links in a built-in web browser
• See all of your friends’ friends and Pages
• See mutual friends
• Easily search for people and Pages
• Make friend requests
• Become a fan of Pages
• Quickly call or text your friends
• Create shortcuts to your favorite friends and Pages
• Friends sorted by first or last name according to your settings
• Chat friends sorted alphabetically

Quite a list indeed, though there are still a few items notably missing such as the ever-desired push notification support that is forthcoming in version 3.1. While we’re not the biggest Facebook fans in the world, we actually do like the new build of the app. One thing in particular — the way the app mimics the iPhone’s app layout with its friends/pages shortcuts is pretty cool. Bottom line: it’s easier than ever to communicate with, follow and/or stalk your friends, so you need to go snag it.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in

It’s time to whip out your rosary/tallit/tasbih/whatever and start praying like you’ve never prayed before. That’s right folks, Facebook 3.0 has just been submitted to the App Store. We’re not insinuating that we believe one of Apple’s App Store approval monkeys will roll his or her icosahedral die and have it settle on “deny the app without cause just for the hell of it” (actually, we are), but we just can’t stand waiting another day for the fifteen new features Facebook 3.0 has in tow. Hit the jump for the complete change log.

Thanks, Tony!

• The “new” News Feed
• Like
• Events (including the ability to RSVP)
• Notes
• Pages
• Create new photo albums
• Upload photos to any album
• Zoom into photos
• Easier photo tagging
• Profile Pictures albums
• A new home screen for easy access to all your stuff, search, and notifications
• Add your favorite profiles and pages to the home screen
• Better Notifications (they link to the comments so you can reply)
• Quickly call or text people right from the Friends page
• Messages you are typing will be restored if you quit or are interrupted by a phone call

If you’re a bit sour that Facebook 3.0 will not feature Push Notifications (which is to debut in Facebook 3.1), just remember what dear old dad told you before you went out on your first date: beggars can’t be choosers.
