I didn't quite catch that...

Things that I think are both obvious and true in this study:

• Facebook is more useful than Bebo, MySpace and Twitter;
• Twitter is, in fact, a bit silly and pointless, even more so than Facebook;
• Mobile internet is not being used for anything creative at all; it’s all about the Facebooking.

A third of young people regularly access Facebook and Twitter via their mobile, a new report has found.

The study, published by mobile research firm CCS Insight, found that access to social networking sites was driving the take-up of mobile internet services.

Facebook is more popular than Bebo, MySpace and Twitter combined, it found.

Its study – into mobile usage among 16 to 35 year olds – also found that the service most youngsters wanted on their phones was the BBC iPlayer.

Things I disagree with:

• Young people != the 16 – 35 age bracket. 35 is pretty bloody old, I’ll have you know.

However, it should be said that I’ve noticed the mobile web thing starting to take off a bit more than it has been doing; personally, I’ve been using WAP since the 7110 back in 2000, and every phone I’ve had since has been deployed in such a fashion. None as much as the Magic, but then that represents the massive increase in functionality that the Magic has over my prior phones; hell, it even does have the iPlayer on board.

So the reason that the take up of mobile internet is gaining pace is likely because the ease of use has finally become what it should be. And who’s to blame for it taking this long, eh? I mean, there have been WAP phones for a decade now, it’s not like it’s new technology at all. Sort it out…
