Google and Facebook jostle for mobile supremacy



Opera survey shows our off our networking addiction

Opera has unveiled its Mobile Web report for 2008k based in date pulled from its Opera Mini browser. And the results are pretty obvious.

Opera users have been all over Google and Facebook this year, the former because the Google search box is built into the browser's home screen, the latter pipping Yahoo to number two and the BBC (third place) as our networking addiction bites harder. Indeed, Bebo also makes the top five, but it's not good new for all the web 2.0 sites. Yes, our love affair with MySpace is almost certainly over, with the site trailing in 10th place.

It's good news for web browsing generally, with Opera's traffic doubling over the course of the year - and with web-friendly (and non-Opera) handsets like the iPhone 3G, BlackBerry Storm and G1 doing swift business too, that figure might even underestimate the rise.
