Mobile mania continues. The reasons why we, in government, must include these platforms in our content and citizen engagement strategies grow daily. Consider two studies:
InMobi says mobile media consumption is changing user behavior. Overall, people are spending more time on their devices doing primarily three things:
- Accessing entertainment
- Getting news updates
- Shopping
And when mobile use spikes in the morning during commute times, the most popular activities are:
- Reading and sending email
- Social networking
- Getting news updates
The InMobi findings confirm the results of Nielsen’s fourth quarter A2/M2 Three Screen Report which shows that the mobile video audience jumped 70%, while time spent watching online video increased 46%, or by 59 minutes over the same period.
In addition, more than half (57%) of Americans with internet access are using their TV and accessing the internet simultaneously at least once a month.
