London, 10 December 2007: According to a survey by itsmy.com, one of the world’s fastest growing mobile only internet communities, 49% of UK employees say they cannot access social networking sites at work.* This is much higher than in the rest of Europe, where only a third of employees are not able to access social networking sites on their work computers
Antonio Vince Staybl, CEO at itsmy.com said; "People want to be connected with their friends 24/7 wherever they are. This becomes more and more difficult, as PC internet access is limited or not available at all."
Brits are increasingly moving towards the mobile internet both in and out of work.
itsmy.com is one of the world’s fastest growing mobile only internet communities with already one million mobile users in Europe and the US, of which 300,000 are in the UK!
Sabine Irrgang, COO at itsmy.com added; "Accessing traditional internet communities with your mobile phone is just not exciting enough! For some services you cannot even register without going home to your PC. Mobile internet offers you even more possibilities than old-fashioned PC-Internet."
Your future community is in your hand, wherever you go!
