The mobile social network, for UK and German users, has claimed its attracted 300,000 UK users to its site since going live a few months ago. According to its own figures released last month, this means that more of its users seem to come from the UK compared to Germany.
According to Gofresh, the company behind itsmy.com, users are flocking to mobile social networks because they’re not allowed to on their office PCs.
Gofresh’s survey of 5,000 people found that 49 percent of Brits can’t access social networking sites from their office PCs, compared to only a third of European employees.

Over 400,000 members of the ad-funded mobile content community itsmy.com have shared an incredible 3.1 million pieces of content in its user-personalised ‘mash-up’ service.
Gofresh, the company behind itsmy.com, is fast developing a mobile-only version of sites like Facebook and Bebo, by letting users share content posted by others and add their favourite content to their personal pages or ‘mash-ups’.
Next month Gofresh, will link all personal mash up sites together with the aim of creating interest groups among users. An enhanced content search tool will also be released, making it easy for users to find the exact pieces of content they’re most interested in.
Gofresh’s claims about itsmy.com’s growth provide more interesting information than the numbers above. They point to a possible avenue for the development of shared mobile content services.
The people behind the community claim that the most popular shared contents are user-generated videos, followed by users’ pictures and then moblogs. However, the highest growth in mobile sharing was seen in people sending each other links to cool mobile content sites.
