The popular new photo sharing service has been competing with Twitter for some time now for members.  And it seems Twitter is losing a huge chunk of its mobile followers to Instagram when it comes to their personal pictures, and it doesn't look like things are going to be changing anytime soon.  Not only that, but users are visiting Instagram more regularly than they would Twitter, which means they'll have to really buckle down and try to rope in more and more members.

"U.S. smartphone users fired up the photo-sharing app Instagram more than Twitter during the month of August, according to new data from comScore.

As first reported by AllThingsD, Instagram, now owned by Facebook, had an average of 7.3 million smartphone users accessing its service every day in August, comScore said. In comparison, Twitter had 6.868 million daily visitors on mobile devices during the same period.

ComScore's data reflects usage among U.S. smartphone owners aged 18 and older accessing the service on a device running iOS, Android, or RIM operating system via a mobile Web browser or app."
