In terms of hard figures, mobile ad revenues are becoming increasingly important to social networks. Facebook’s recent earnings call illustrated this quite starkly: In Q1 2014, the company saw a 72% year-over-year rise in total global revenues, driven by mobile, which accounted for 59% of ad revenues during the same period—up from 30% a year prior, the company said.
