Twitter mobile traffic up 347 percent from 2009

New data from comScore says that while MySpace mobile use is on the wane, Facebook traffic from phones has more than doubled from a year ago. But Facebook’s growth rate isn’t nearly as impressive as Twitter’s.

According to a comScore report published Monday, here’s how mobile traffic compares to last year’s stats:

Overall mobile traffic: 11.1 percent of all mobile users, and 30.8 percent of smartphone owners, hit a social networking site in January. Those numbers are up 4.6 percent and 8 percent from January 2009.
Feature phone users: Only 6.8 percent of non-smartphone users accessed social networking sites.
Twitter: The number of users in January 2010 shot from last year’s 1,051,000 to 4.7 million. That’s 4.47 times as many users or, in PR-speak, a 347 percent increase.
Facebook: It’s up 112 percent from last year’s 11,874,000 to 25,137,000. Facebook is still the king of social networks, with more than five times as many mobile users as Twitter.
MySpace: It’s still way ahead of Twitter, but down 7 percent from 12,338,000 to 11,439,000.
