Mobile social media use in France began to heat up in spring 2012 during the country’s presidential race. As politicians sought to gain advantages, especially on microblogs, they drew in more constituents, ultimately spurring greater social use on these newer platforms.Social networks in France have since taken advantage of this increased mobile engagement, with Twitter and LinkedIn especially making significant strides. Between June 2011 and 2012, Twitter saw a 117% bump in mobile access in the country, according to data from comScore MobiLens. LinkedIn made an even bigger leap of 125% during the year.
