Mobile Browser Access to Facebook and Twitter Surges

Audience measurement firm comScore’s March 2010 study of social networking access via mobile browser concludes that mobile access to Facebook has increased 112% in the last year, while Twitter has increased 347%.  Nearly a third of smartphone users accessed social networking sites through their mobile browser in January, up more than 8% from a year ago.

Facebook’s mobile browser audience surpassed MySpace in February 2009, three months earlier than the Facebook audience exceeded that of MySpace on the non-mobile web in May 2009.

These figures do not include access of the social networking services by the nearly 6 million mobile phone owners who do so exclusively through mobile applications.
