88% of U.S. adults own a cell phone as of April 2012, and more than half of these cell owners (55%) use their phone to go online. We’ve got new stats out today that indicate 17% of all adult cell phone owners do most of their online browsing on their cell phones. Among the key findings: 55% of adult cell owners now use the internet on their mobile phones; that is nearly double what we found as recently as three years ago. Young adults and non-whites are especially likely to say that most of their internet use occurs on their mobile phone When asked why they do most of their online browsing on their phone, 64% of these “cell-mostly” users point towards the convenience and ubiquitous availability of mobile devices. However, 10% say that they rely heavily on their cell phones because they lack more traditional online access. Read the full report

New Twitter stats: 15% of online adults use Twitter, 8% do so on a typical day

We’ve got brand spanking new Twitter numbers out today! As of February 2012, overall Twitter adoption by online adults is at 15%, which has remained steady since May 2011, when overall Twitter adoption by Internet users was 13%. Notably, though, the % of online adults who use Twitter on a typical day has doubled since May 2011 and has quadrupled since late 2010—at that point just 2% of online adults used Twitter on a typical day. Now, 8% of online adults use Twitter on a typical day.

More key findings:

  • African-Americans continue to use Twitter at very high rates—28% of online African-Americans are Twitter adopters, and 13% use the service on a typical day.
  • Usage by young internet users (those 18-24 years old) increased dramatically over the last year, with nearly one in three now using Twitter.
  • Our data also suggests that these trends are deeply intertwined with mobile Twitter usage on smartphones. Fully 20% of smartphone owners use Twitter overall, and 16% use the service specifically on their cell phones.
