'Sex' and 'porno' top mobile searches

Jun 9, 2008

You'd think a cellphone's screen is too tiny for any, uh, "intimate" viewing.

Sex and Porn on mobile cell phones. Apparently not. The words "sex" and "porno" are among the most popular terms on mobile search engines, says a report from Crisp Wireless, a publisher of mobile phone websites for companies such as Time Warner and Paramount Pictures.

"Sex" and "Porno" were the eighth- and ninth-most-searched-for terms, according to Crisp's study of more than 14 million mobile Web users in the first quarter of 2008.
