In their January 2010 State of the Mobile Web report, Opera Software looked at social networking on the mobile Web and concluded that Facebook dominated that aspect by a margin throughout 2009, while Twitter was the fastest-growing.
This month, the company looked at Mobile Web search in the United States, and claims Google is perhaps unsurprisingly leading the pack.
According to Operas report, Google Search accounts for more than 9% of all page views on the mobile Web in the United States, outpacing rivals Yahoo! and Bing, who respectively command 4.3% and 0.03% of all page views.
Opera, as usual, also provided some numbers about the growth of its own mobile browser Opera Mini, and general page view stats.
The company says that in January 2010, 50 million people used Opera Mini, a 7.4% increase from December 2009 and up 149% compared to January 2009. Collectively, Opera Mini users viewed more than 23.3 billion pages last month, up 12.7% since December 2009 and an increase of 208% since the same period last year.
Operas servers processed more than 3 petabytes of data, Opera Software co-founder Jon von Tetzchner writes. Thats a gigantic amount of data, and he puts that in perspective as follows:
This means, each month, our servers crunch an amount of data equivalent to the entire repository of the Internet Archive, with a full-size copy of Avatar thrown in for good measure.
Do you use Opera Mini on your phone?
