MocoSpace<\/a>, a social network that is primarily accessed on the phone, has reached 11 million users. <\/p>\n

While that may pale in comparison to the 100 million people using Facebook on cellphones<\/a>, it easily surpasses the 560,000 using Foursquare. However, it is more in line with the 500,000 users that MocoSpace says are logging in on a daily basis to the network. MocoSpace VP of Business Development & Marketing Casey Jones said: \u201cScale is a critical piece to being able to deliver on the promise of our targeting capabilities. We are very fortunate to have a large, growing, and loyal audience.”<\/p>\n

MocoSpace provided other statistics following its appearance at SXSW, as well: <\/p>\n

—The site generates 3 billion pages per month and was recently named the 4th most visited mobile web site in the U.S. by Ground Truth<\/a> (behind big names like MySpace (NYSE: NWS<\/a>), Facebook, Google).
—Average session times are over 13 minutes on mobile.
—Mobile users on average access the site more than 5 times per day.
—Users sent more than 1.7 million e-cards during the week of Valentine\u2019s Day.
—Over 200 new artists are submitting their own music to MocoSpace daily.<\/p>\n

The company says it primarily makes money through advertising targeted at their demographic of 18 to 24 year olds, which is one-third Hispanic and one-third African-American. Recent campaigns were from Sony (NYSE: SNE<\/a>) Pictures, Spike TV and the U.S. Census. In addition, the site uses virtual currency, which is expected to exceed 15 percent of the company’s revenue by the end of 2010.  <\/p>\n
