By Amarendra Bhushan for CEOWORLD Magazine Updated:February 2, 2009


MocoSpace (www.mocospace.com) ranks in the top 10 social networks visited on mobile phones according to leading browser company Opera.

Opera’s State of the Mobile Web report measures traffic trends of its nearly 20 million Opera Mini users around the world. Opera Mini is the mobile version of Opera’s popular browser. In the January 2009 report, Opera recapped 2008 social networking activity on mobile phones.

Among the sites listed, MocoSpace had the highest annual growth rate in unique visitors of the US companies at 835%. It was the third highest overall, trailing only the two social sites based out of Russia. MocoSpace first appeared on the State of the Mobile Web report in May of 2008 as the number three mobile site in the United States.

‘Opera Mini stats prove that sites such as MocoSpace are thriving worldwide in the escalating trend of mobile social networking,’ says Rod Hamlin, SVP, Americas, Opera Software. ‘Opera Mini puts the full web in everyone’s pocket who chooses a fast and easy web experience, and these users are choosing to connect in the ways leading social networking sites provide.’

“We continue to see a very positive trend in social networking behavior as a generation shifts its web behavior to mobile,” said Justin Siegel, co-founder and CEO of MocoSpace. “2009 will be a terrific year for mobile social networks.”
