Yahoo’s head of mobile David Ko (pictured) said today that if consumers use that visit Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) on the PC and from their phone, they end up spending 82 percent more time with the company’s various web properties. That reaffirms what other online companies have said recently. Last month, Facebook announced that users are two times more engaged with Facebook if they use a mobile version. Ko said: “Mobile is not cannibalizing the web.”

Yahoo’s mobile homepage is now available in 32 markets and is available on 1,900 different handsets. Just four months ago, the site was only available in 17 markets. “By focusing on this, we have seen three times the growth over the past two years,” Ko said.
