Social networks dominate mobile vane usage, says Ground Truth

The mobile web is primarily organism used to clout friends, update your status and connect with friends, according to information from enquiry firm Ground Sojourner Truth.

I don’t think it’s surprising that social networks ar popular on handsets but the information suggests that more than one-half (59.8%) of the metre spent using the mobile web are with these types of services. Portals, wheeler dealer websites, electronic messaging and downloads accounted for the majority of other usages, but none came close to social networks.

What’s interesting is that it’s not just the big boys that are capturing our aid on the go. Smaller, mobile-centric networks like MocoSpace or AirG ar gaining traction, the research firm said.

“Facebook and MySpace may be the most addictive pastimes on the PC, but sites like MocoSpace and AirG mastery more aid on mobile phones,” said Evan Neufeld, VP of merchandising for Ground Truth, in a prepared financial statement. “For exercise, each MocoSpace substance abuser spent in excess of an minute more on the internet site than did the average Facebook visitant during the workweek.”

I guessing this shows the mightiness of a internet site that’s been designed for mobile first but I wouldn’t numeration out Facebook for long. The company already has nearly 100 million mobile users and this quad will surely be an important butt for it in the future tense.
