“Over the course of the past year, we have seen use of mobile Internet evolve from an occasional activity to being a daily part of people’s lives,” said comScore’s Mark Donovan. “This underscores the growing importance of the mobile medium as consumers become more reliant on their mobile devices to access time-sensitive and utilitarian information. Social networking and blogging have emerged as very popular daily uses of the mobile Web and these activities are growing at a torrid pace,” observed Donovan. “We also note that much of the growth in news and information usage is driven by the increased popularity of downloaded applications, such as those offered for the iPhone, and by text-based searches.”

Obviously, the mobile browsing experience hasn’t yet matched its wired counterpart in quality. But clearly it’s getting there. And right now, it’s at the “decent enough” stage to woo the audience that will drive its further and more rapid improvement.

And Google (GOOG) is serving up ads on it.

To be fair, though, it’s no easy task for the search giant to keep Blogger malware-free. So in some sense, the fact that the service hosts just two percent of all malware and not 20 percent is an achievement, as Sophos’s Graham Cluley notes. “If you think about it, Blogger/Blogspot’s position is probably not surprising–it’s a phenomenally popular platform for people to create their own Web pages (blogs), and gives Internet users the ability to comment on other people’s blogs,” Cluley said in a post to his blog. “Inevitably, there are ne’er-do-wells out there who will try and abuse a great service like that, and try and plant malware and malicious links. For its part, Google–the company who own Blogspot–takes security seriously, and works hard to shut down Web pages serving up malware.”
