607m mobile social networkers by 2013

Holy tweet, that's 43 per cent of all mobile web users.

A new forecast by eMarketer adds that the space will enjoy 46.8 per cent CAGR between 2008 and 2014, increasing from 76 million worldwide users to 760.1 million during that time. In all 13.3 percent of all mobile subscribers will access social media sites.

"Combining two much-hyped, but still-emerging channels – mobile and social – results in a developing opportunity for marketers," said eMarketer senior analyst Noah Elkin.

The firm said LBS networks like Loopt and foursquare could deliver the fastest growth.
