54% of people have met a partner online

37% use their profile to flirt, organise their love life and meet new people

Cupid has part-exchanged his bow and arrow for a mobile phone as over half of today’s singles (54%) are finding love through social networking, according to a poll by Wadja, home of the Blue Kangaroo and mobile web, media and messaging service.

The research of 500 social networkers across Europe into mobile living and mobile social networking indicates that 37% of users flirt, organise their love life and meet new people through social networking.

58% of those interviewed use social networking to keep in touch with friends and 87% say their social lives would suffer without it. Only 5% believe their social life would not be affected without access to social networking sites. When asked which language social networkers would most like to communicate in, unsurprisingly English came out on top (74%), but perhaps more surprisingly Klingon (1%) is more popular than Japanese (0%)!
