Access to Facebook via a mobile browser has grown 112% in the past year, with Twitter experiencing a 347% jump.

In total, 11.1% of all US mobile phone users accessed a social networking site via their mobile browser, an increase of 4.6 percentage points from January 2009.

25.1 million mobile users accessed Facebook via their mobile browser in January 2010. MySpace attracted 11.4 million mobile users, while Twitter had 4.7 million mobile users in January. These figures are just calculated from mobile browsers and don't include almost 6 million mobile phone owners who access social networking exclusively through applications on their mobile phones.
