Mobile social networking sounds death knell for texting
Mobile social networking might be responsible for the death of mobile text messaging, according to a new survey.
Research conducted for TalkTalk, the broadband internet service provider, predicts that the number of text messages sent will drop by 20% in the next two years as the new generation of young people use other forms of mobile phone-based messaging to communicate with each other.
Today’s teenagers prefer mobile social networking sites such as Facebook, which offers an instant messaging application.
The survey found that young people prefer BlackBerrys because of their free instant messaging service, BBM, instead of having to pay for texts on iPhones and other smartphones. Sales of BlackBerrys have increased six fold in the past year, mainly because of their popularity amongst 16 to 24 year olds.
BBM is used by 39 million people across the world whilst it was revealed in February that Facebook Mobile is used by around 100 million people a month. Other instant messaging services that have been optimised for mobile use are also popular with this age group, such as Windows Live Messenger for Mobile and Yahoo Messenger for Mobile.
If this trend continues, then text messaging could become extinct in a generation.
