BOSTON, MA - February 24, 2009 - MocoSpace (
http://www.mocospace.com) today revealed that mobile consumers report using the web and social networking at home (45%) more than any other single place including school / work (5%), commuting (1%) and restaurants and bars (2%).
The February 2009 Mobile Social Networking report, which captures attitudes and opinions of the mobile community's mostly young US audience of over 5 million registered members also found that most say they have their mobile with them all of the time and that it's the device they're least willing to give up (68%) compared with television (14%), music device (11%), computer and fixed internet (7%).
Some other highlights from the February report:
- Mobile social networkers are young and addicted to their mobiles and they surf 'everywhere'
- Next to convenience, privacy is the big driver of the appeal of mobile social networking
- Staying connected with pre-existing friends is common but they do more than that
- Like the mobile social experience but there's room for upside
