eMarketer released its Media Usage Around the World report this month. If you love data and stats, this is one for you. Also check it out if you're in charge of figuring out where to place your next bet for connecting with where your consumers already are.

Is Mobile More Than Just a Portable Version of the Web? | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Research shows a growing number of people now access the Web solely through mobile devices. But according to a new report from Altimeter, most companies are behind the curve when it comes to creating mobile-only experiences.


Mobile on the Rise


Mobile usage has exploded in recent years. Adults now spend up to two hours per day on the mobile Web, the Content Standard previously reported. Once thought of as a “second screen” after the desktop, mobile is now becoming the first—and sometimes only—stop for users.
