In terms of exploiting the opportunity, I think marketers could look at doing more interesting things with mobile since more people than we think have smartphones. Personally, I’m amazed at the growth of Android and I don’t think app developers understand the scale of the platform. If you look at an app like Instagram, if it wants to get to a billion users, most of them will come from Android and not other competing mobile OSes.

With regards to Twitter, I think they are dealing with a lot of problems at the moment. It’s hard for new users to use and growth has stalled. It’s great for real time things but I actually think Instagram is going to out grow Twitter and become more important for brands. That’s just my opinion :-)

Thanks for this blog post. It would be an interesting conversation amongst marketers about how they have exploited this opportunity.

What’s your take on twitter as a platform that reinforces marketers’ message along with facebook ? Could this also have led to the figures we find here ?
