Itsmy.com, the mobile/PC social networking site operated by Germany-based Gofresh, has amassed 300,000 members in the UK.

And its reckons lazy, work shy Brits are flocking to mobile because 49 per cent of them can't access social networks from their office PCs.

Gofresh surveyed 5,000 people between 16 and 54 years old across Europe and compares the UK figure to mainland Europe, where only a third of lazy employees are unable to check their profiles from their desks, presumably due to lax firewalls.

Gofresh CEO Vince Staybl said: "People want to be connected with their friends 24/7 wherever they are. This becomes more and more difficult, as PC internet access is limited or not available at all."
