    Opera Mini usage jumps 450% in a year

    -

    Opera Mini users generated more than 73.7 million MB of data for operators worldwide during October 2008, according to the browser company. 

    That number is up 12.7% on the September number, and up 450% on October 2007's traffic, and equates to more than 21 million users viewing 5 billion pages views in the month.

    Opera Mini was used by approximately 21 million users in October, a 10.6% month-on-month increase from September 2008 and more than 311% compared to October 2007.
    So where was the traffic heading? Well, Opera concentrated on South East Asia for this month's report, but we have seen numbers for Russia and the UK as well. In Russia, the top ten websites visited were:
    1 vkontakte.ru
