The mobile search company Taptu has been on a bit of a roll recently - they closed a large round of funding, changed their branding, hit 1m searches per day and have been hard at work developing their iphone app and an index of touch sites. Like admob Taptu is another company that is great for the mobile 2.0 ecosystem and we are really lucky to have them in the UK - they are often at conferences speaking about what they are doing and also publish some great white papers. Steve Ives the CEO gave a presentation at the Mobile Web Summit and here's some of the key points and stats:
Future of mobile is touch
- 220m touch screens shipped this year - only a small proportion are iphones
- touch is a fluent, relaxed way of mobile browsing ideal for MASS MARKET
- 10% of the Quantcast top 1000 websites now have a touch-optimized mobile site (GREAT STAT!!)
- this moves to just 0.5% when you expand to top 10k sites so a long way to go...
Taptu is growing strongly
- 60% of Taptu's audience is based in the USA
- they had done 0.25m searches by Dec 07, 2.5m by June 08 and 25m by April 09
- new iphone app coming out which allows browsing and searching of mobile touch sites (it looked great)
