[bbc] A third of young people regularly access Facebook and Twitter via their mobile, a new report has found.
The study, published by mobile research firm CCS Insight, found that access to social networking sites was driving the take-up of mobile internet services.
Facebook is more popular than Bebo, MySpace and Twitter combined, it found.
Its study - into mobile usage among 16 to 35 year olds - also found that the service most youngsters wanted on their phones was the BBC iPlayer.
The suggestion that Facebook is more popular than Twitter chimes with a recently published Morgan Stanley report on internet and mobile usage.
Compiled by a 15-year-old intern, the report said that teenagers favoured Facebook over Twitter.
"Teenagers do not use Twitter. They realise that no-one is viewing their profile, so their tweets are pointless," Matthew Robson wrote in the report.
