Facebook rules mobile web use

It seems that we're becoming increasingly reliant on our mobile phones as Facebook has been found to dominate the lives of mobile web users in the UK.

That's according to figures from a mobile industry body. The GSM Association (GSMA) has found that people in the UK spent around 2.2bn minutes browsing the social network during December alone.

And in fact, these rocketing figures might not be a true reflection, because the data was only collected from three of the five UK networks.

Google sites were second in the list with around with 4.57 million unique users. But the report showed they spent on average less than one-fifth of the time on its sites, compared to Facebook.

Facebook is currently carrying the torch for social networks, with around 350 million users.
