@ Napte Mobile++: M:Metrics On Mobile Social Networks

Will Hodgman, President & CEO of M:Metrics Inc, spent five minutes at Napte Mobile++ giving some stats and opinions on social networking. He seems pretty bullish…”It’s a party and everybody’s coming.” In 2006 the practice of taking a picture or video and sending it somewhere (to a friend, blog etc) almost doubled in the US. The number of publisher and title offerings doubled, and also the number of communities offered by carriers. Social networking sites ranked among the most popular mobile domains.
The number of mobile page views for various sites in the US according to M:Metrics:
–google.com 21.9 m
–yahoo.com 20.9 m
–msn.com 13.7 m
–craigslist 7.5 m
–facebook 5.1 m
–cnn 4.4 m
–live 4.4 m
There were some others that I didn’t have time to get, but also of note was MySpace nabbing 2 million page views (I don’t know whether that includes the Java app). He said there was no loss of appetite for this in 2007, and the numbers would continue growing.
Finally, about 20 percent of the population of the US takes a video or photo with their phone and sends it somewhere — in Europe the figure is 30 percent, which isn’t a huge difference.
