A new survey from Pew, titled “Social Media and Mobile Internet Use Among Teens and Young Adults,” reports that teens and that over the hill demographic known as “twenty-somethings” are on Mobile Internet “like white on rice.” 27 percent of 12-17 year-olds access the Internet from mobile phones and other mobile devices. In a pathetic attempt to look “cool” and keep up with these trend setting teens, 55 percent of posers aged 18-29 years also use their mobiles for web browsing. The report also mentioned something or other about old people’s Internet usage as well.

The survey also highlights a surprising decline in blogging and Twitter use among cool kids and an increase of social networking through with approximately 73 percent of online teens and young adults use social-networking sites. The terrific tumble in tweets from tweens, teens, and twenty-somethings is a tantalizing tact in the twisty trends to come in Twenty Ten,  Year of The Mobile.

In a separate report from GroundTruth, a new mobile metrics company,  stated that 61 percent of mobile online page views are to social networking sites. The report does not say what the remaining 39 percent was used for, so we are forced to assume it was mostly looking at Internet porn.
