Facebook and Bebo most popular for mobile surfers on the 3 mobile network
Facebook and Bebo are the most popular sites accessed when using 3 mobile it's reported in Silicon Republic.
They reported last week that access to Facebook and Bebo were accounted for around 43 percent of customer useage - Facebook being accessed more by monthly account holders and Bebo the popular social networking site for the pre-pay customer.
The 3 mobile operator conducted the survey over a three week period - checking their website at the time of writing this I can not see details of the survey so I am not sure how many participated in it.
In Silicon Republic David Kent, the head of entertainment at 3 commented
“These findings are the first in a series from 3 that clearly define the rapidly increasing trend of social networking ‘on the move’ as an important lifestyle choice for both pay monthly and pre-pay customers.”“With the increased profile of social networking portals such as Twitter we anticipate this percentage to grow significantly by the end of 2009."
The 3 mobile survey indicated that the top five websites for mobile phone customers on their network were Google, YouTube, Bebo, Facebook and RTE; pre-pay users are visiting Google, YouTube and Bebo and bill paying customers are visiting Google, Facebook and RTE.
