Thursday, February 26th, 2009 by Harry Gold

Between 2007 and 2008, US mobile banking has increased from 400,000 to 3.1 million users. Since nearly every American has a bank account, these numbers are likely to keep increasing.

The U.S is not the only region getting mobile with their banking; by 2011 it is expected that 41% of respondents in far East and China will be taking part.
Note: * transactional users who also have traditional branch-based services, excluding users who cannot be reached with traditional services; ** excludes Far East and China

Facebook Audience Matures

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009 by Harry Gold

While the older generations are not constantly on social networking sites, they are logging on between 1-4 times per month. Of the respondents in the 50+ age group, 73% of them logged on a few times of the month, compared to 30+ times at only 5%.

Teens and adults have the same feelings when it comes to social networks: to keep in touch with friends. 89% of teens, and 91% of adults all say that is the reason for their social networking. Adults are also making their way to social networking sites to organize for a cause/issue (43%), to make professional contacts (28%) and promote themselves or their work (28%). Social networking is no longer strictly for the younger community.
