The year-end review of the most popular websites on mobile phones
shows that Google once again rests at the top of the State of the
Mobile Web top 30 list, according to data collected by Opera's Mini
mobile browser.
In 2009, Facebook was king of the mobile Web. In 2010, Google
returned to claim the top spot among more than 80 million Opera Mini
users worldwide, knocking Facebook to the second spot, Opera said.
Another rising star on the mobile web is the microblogging service
Twitter, while the older social network Friendster is decreasing in
popularity on a global basis. The rapid growth of Twitter, rising
eight places to #13 in the ranking, is mirrored by the rise of the
social website Orkut as Brazilian web users take Opera Mini to their
hearts.

Opera claims that its mobile browsers (Opera Mini)
saw significant increases in all three categories of growth in
November 2010: unique users, pages viewed and data consumed. In all,
80.0 million people used Opera Mini in November, 44.6 billion pages
were served, and 6.3 petabytes of operator data were compressed for
Opera Mini users.
In November alone, users viewed more than 44 billion webpages and
saved money, while the Opera servers compressed more than 6 petabytes
of data. |
