UK consumers are more likely to access social networking sites on a mobile phone than other countries, with 43 per cent of those with social networking site profiles saying they do so compared to just 30 per cent in the US.

From Ofcom’s International Communications Report 2011, up from 24% in 2010 (US was 22% last year).

Also of interest:

  • In the UK, twice as many people claim to have a Friends Reunited profile as a MySpace one (sorry Tom/Rupert)
  • Mobile access to Social Networks will likely overtake Desktop access in 2012 in the UK (but not Laptop access)
