Cambridge, MA, United States (AHN) - Social networking sites topped the list of voice-powered mobile Web searches in 2009. Based on data accumulated through millions of Vlingo-powered mobile Web searches the data shows how mobile devices are developing unique Web trends bridging the digital information divided that previously only computers dominated.
Mobile is extending far beyond SMS and voice communications to encompass multimedia and social networking. YouTube, Facebook and MySpace and Twitter's presence on the list demonstrate the power of social networking and video sharing even while people are on-the-go.
Other top 10 terms focused on utility as people looked for information to help with everyday tasks and preparation such as weather, directions, phone numbers and movie times.

"Unlike traditional Web searches that focus on specific search terms such as 'Michael Jackson' or 'Twilight,' our data shows that on mobile phones, people tend to search for specific destinations sites and resources," said Dave Grannan, president and CEO of Vlingo.
