Get Paid To Search Online - Make Money - Step By Step Google ComScore: Google+ Grows Worldwide Users From 65 Million In October To 67 Million In November | TechCrunch
@Bryan Paul
I think the idea for Google+ to be a real Facebook competitor is maybe something that could happen FAR into the future, but as they clean up and tie more of Google's services into it, I think it will be a very nice feature for people who do use Google products. I think of it more like an "Advanced Address Book" with some social features.
@Edmund Rojas
Ironically thats the way I see facebook now, an advanced address book, or advanced email with social features, from a time sink perspective its an absolute waste of time and is creepy as hell and getting creepier all the time, when google plus is finished being built in the new year everything will make more sense to the casual observers
@Robert Scoble
Yeah, these numbers sound more accurate than the ones I posted earlier. If Google+ got to 100 million users Google would have made a BIG deal about them!
@Eric Rosser Eldon
Let's see what Google says in its next earnings call. ComScore's better than most, but still doesn't see everything.
@Jay Zalowitz
Eric Rosser Eldon Ill try and get some numbers out tonight from my server...
@Eric Rogness
People stay away now because of the lack of content from friends. There are great blogs (ty Robert Scoble!) but FB's social audience is based around stuff posted by real world friends. However, I see content long term becoming commoditized. We can already see it with tweets posting to FB and vice versa. Really, it doesn't matter where I follow and interact with you... that's up to me, whichever user experience I prefer. Once G+ opens up a functional API for posting, they'll have all the content they need in the world. Slow and steady is right, and G+ is definitely still in the game.
@Zorlac Realm
67 million users are not all active users. Signing up is good start anyway, 67 million sign-up in 6 months is pretty good.
@Eric Rosser Eldon
These are monthly unique visitors.
@Bailey Jones
Eric Rosser Eldon Does this account for the people who accidentally clicked on Google+ in the black bar?
@Eric Rosser Eldon
Bailey Jones Just people who went to plus.google.com
@Bailey Jones
Eric Rosser Eldon That's actually pretty impressive. Thanks!

@Don Ouchy
The time for rapid growth with Google+ has passed. The buzz is over – that ship has sailed. A two million unique growth metric is great for Joe Blows website but for a company like Google…not that impressive. I don’t see slow and steady winning this race. IMO it’s more likely an upstart will come in and steal their market share before they ever come close to Facebook numbers. Their best bet is to go after a niche market or hope the competition makes a big mistake.
@Edmund Rojas
google+ is just getting started, the potential for growth with this is massive, Its obvious and clear to see already, just let them finish building it before jumping to radical misinformed conclusions
@Ariel Castillo
Lol. Yeah, thanks goodness this kind of comment didn't miss the thread. 1 - It is a 6 months old service and and yet this only cover november. 2 - Facebook got its 900 million accounts in the span of 7 years... 3 - Watch what you talk. You may as well be shut in a couple of years. 4 - Google+ will be a success whether you want it or not. Google got this locked.
@Don Ouchy
Edmund Rojas @Edmond – what is radical or misinformed about my opinion? It’s pretty objective. Yes the service is only 6 months old. It’s also Google supported which in internet terms makes it about 6 years old. The initial wave of publicity hit…and passed. A HUGE wave that was backed by search and other high profile products - and it still didn’t get even 10% of the market. It wasn’t that sticky beyond tech and business. Are there more waves coming? Is there a “switch to Google+ day” being planned that I don’t know about? @Ariel – you posts feels to me like your suggesting I hate Google. I do not care either way. As I have said – this is my objective opinion. And I have no clue what your 3rd item means.
@Ariel Castillo
Don Ouchy Android and Chrome grew periodically. Google's services all have happened through this type of grow. Google+. Integrating with everything Google known to man won't be any different. If what you state here, happens in a period of a year from now. Then congratulation. But I doubt... My third item means you have no clue what you are talking.
@Edmund Rojas
Don Ouchy you say "The buzz is over – that ship has sailed" , " I don’t see slow and steady winning this race", chrome and android have no "buzz" either but they continue to eat up market share day by day just like plus is doing, Id hardly say either of those are dead either, there have been many upstarts that have come in and none of those have taken away any market share, they just keep growing, why? because they continue to innovate and offer consumers better technology, If you actually used google+ you would know this, the potential for the hangouts feature alone is massive, and the technology keeps improving every week, In the end quality and innovation always wins.
@Don Ouchy
Edmund Rojas This feels like a video game discussion (fanboys and girls). I use Google+ Edmund. In fact I am the only person on my Facebook friend list who does. I never said Google+ was dead. It’s just not going to be the next big thing in social. Its an objective opinion not as a techie, not as a engineer, but as a promoter. I am not interested in the code. I am interested in what drives traffic and why. And putting that into the context of the current internet pulse. As for Andriod and Chrome - do hardware and search products really compare to a social network? I don’t think so either. @Ariel - your 3rd item ment that to me also! See we have stuff in common.
@George Adams
Dude, it's barely 6-month product, and you're already saying it's dead? Myspace was bigger than FB and other social networking sites for like 5 years
@Don Ouchy
George Adams you are incorrect - not only did I say it was dead, I said it died 12 months ago on the planet Zion.
@Victor Uziel Perez Caixba
Edmund Rojas buen trabajo el tuyo ojala algun dia pudieras leer esto: http://www.mundopoesia.com/foros/poemas-filosoficos-existencialistas-y-o-vitales/387714-el-dia-que-la-luna-desobedecio.html
@Ariel Castillo
Don Ouchy There is more probability of Google+ taking over and shutting you further than it failing and shutting me. So it made more sense for me to say that to you. You have no clue what you saying. And for Android and Chrome. They both were faced with big competence. Firefox with its thousand of add on and its 25% market share and people like you dishing Chrome off. So with Android and Apple with iPhone and its hot market share. It is not the same in relation to the products. But eithert reflect in how google products go from phase 1 to success. Now that your friends and family don't move with you is not Google+'s fault. But yours. Hey... mine at least pop up to hang out or read my stuff, so where do we get here. Google+ is taking over...
@Mariano Blaya
Unique visitors last month is a better figure than number of users. I think It is showing how consistently Google is performing with G+. Delivering often new features and listening user feedback. Chapeau.
@Behzad Besen
I think Google did a marketing mistake. When they first announced G+, it should have been open to all. At that time G+ was mentioned a lot on TV, in mags and websites, good advertitsing for free. A lot of people would have opened up an account at that time, but because of beta they couldnd't. A few months later after it become open to all, there was not such a hype about G+ anymore. But i think it's a good sign that it is actually growing, so it seems to be still attractive. And two million from oct. to nov. is better than nothing (although i think that the Google managers aren't happy with that). And the most important fact on social networks are, that people useally take their friend with them, so i don't think that it's going to be a constant growth of 2 Mill. per months.
@Ariel Castillo
You think? ICS is actually prompting people to create a Google+. How do you respond to this?
@Behzad Besen
Ariel Castillo Yeah, but this is not my point. By making free advertisment i mean the mass-media. Media that reaches to all people (eg. NYT or ABC or whatever there is), especially those people who arent't that much into the computer and hightech stuff. ( People who don't even know TechCrunch for example). I think you know what i am trieing to say.
@Julian Hugh
I predict Google + will 200 million users by end of 2012....and Facebook will slowly be fading away. That's my prediction and I am sticking to it.
@Victor Uziel Perez Caixba
mirad aqui Julian Hugh mirad http://www.mundopoesia.com/foros/poemas-filosoficos-existencialistas-y-o-vitales/387714-el-dia-que-la-luna-desobedecio.html
@Ariel Castillo
And this only cover november. Hah, where are the doom sayers now?
@Brendan Irvine-Broque
Unique visitors are not users. DAU and MAU are what really matter here.
@Robert Dallas
I am more inclined to believe that there are 150+ million users than 67 million, and that 67 number does not include people who may have accessed G+ from other points like mobile, the G+ bar or YouTube. and to Robert Scoble's suggestion that if they had that many users maybe Google is waiting for an event to release those number like the earnings call.
@Keith Philliban
The only problem with google+ is that all my friends are on Facebook, unfortunately I can't set this changing anytime soon which is a shame as I really like g+ but it's hard to user when I'm only following a few pages that don't post a hell of a lot and I don't have many people to talk to. I hope this improves over time. I do know this is not googles fault and if more people use g+, well, more people will use g+.
@Chris Atkins
Keith, I'm with you. I prefer g+, but only 10 or so of my friends are on it. The "network effect" just isn't there yet, but I'm excited for increased adoption! I just wonder how slow it will be. It seems like fb is just too entrenched for most people to switch.
@Keith Philliban
Chris Atkins Facebook are integrating with everything, you even have to use Facebook to post on here! Maybe if google does the same thing it will help it be used more and if sites like techcrunch also allowed people to use other networks to post such as g+ would certainly go a long way
@Arturo Perez
Google needed a social layer by which to tie all their services together. G+ is that layer. It's a long term strategy, slow steady growth is a good sign.
@Coy Davidson
The challenge for G+ still remains how do they attract the mainstream user People can go on Facebook, Twitter or Linkedin and connect with people with similar interests. Petty arguments about which cell phone is better and a boat load of HDR photos is not that interesting to a lot of people. These people don't care if its integrated with GoogleWhatevah because they use Google for one thing "Search" and a few youtube videos. I have spent a ton of time on G+ trying to connect with people with similar interests and it's challenging. I don't have these issues on FB and twitter or LinkedIn.
@Ariel Castillo
They... people, use google for youtube which pertain to. So android so chrome. Did you just said people don't care it being integrated with? Well you see. Fact is, those other products are being used by hundred of million already. You got an argument to fix.
@Coy Davidson
Ariel Castillo Certainly entitled to your opinion Ariel, but these people, as I refer are less tech savvy and not even using chrome as there browser. Besides I can't debate anyone not wearing a shirt
@Ariel Castillo
Coy Davidson But what about youtube and the Google+ bar taking its range to there? Example? see https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-UFKoeoRP7qo/TtvMPOqdm7I/AAAAAAAAnZc/TFmXasrxdCk/w402/youtube.PNG And yes, this is happening. People would care now?
@Coy Davidson
Ariel, I like G+ and they have done a good job, but I don't share your optimism. There are about 100 people in my office. Not extremely tech savvy but well educated and good cross section of Gen Y, Gen X and boomers. About 90% have a facebook account, about 10 have a twitter account and I am the only one with a G+ account. They just are not interested in G+, even slightly curious
@Ariel Castillo
Coy Davidson Google+ = 6 months Facebook = 7 years Twitter = 5 years. If you are basing your argument from that analogy. Then yes, you got an argument to fix.
@Coy Davidson
Ariel Castillo I like what Google has done with G+ but I don't share your optimism, but my point is they have a huge challenge attracting the mainstream. For example there are about 100 people in my office, not extremely tech savvy, but well educated and a good cross section of Gen Y, Gen X and Boomers. About 80% of them have a facebook account, about 10 have twitter accounts but none are active. I am the only one with a G+ account. They simply are not interested in G+, not even curious. My point is that this is Google's biggest challenge. They have captured the attention of the tech crowd, and the power social media crowd. They haven't made a dent in the mainstream.
@Ariel Castillo
Coy Davidson Neither did Twitter or Facebook in 6 months. So, maybe you rushing your point a little? If by the end of the next year Google+ doesn't sweat on twitter then call it a failure.
@Isaiah Weddle
Google+ has more traffic than MySpace.com? They are BALLIN'.
@Peachanan Rojwongsuriya
Although all my friends are on Facebook, I find myself using Google Plus more and more. There are several awesome people active there (Guy Kawasaki for example), and I really like the clean look and design compared to cluttered Facebook feed. And with my Galaxy Nexus and Google Plus seamless integration, it really makes me want to share stuff on it, although not many people will see it. Google+ could be a good alternative to Facebook and Twitter imho.
@Akshay Jain
Someone rightly said this about Google + that it is like a Gym membership. "Everyone has it, but no one uses it". Almost everyone I know has a Google+ account but that's about it. They created the account but there is zero activity. Google+ needs to try something innovative from this point onwards. Being another facebook would not help them much.
@Sushubh Mittal
People need to realize something. Google+ is not a direct competitor of Facebook. It is a social layer that is being integrated with all Google services. If you use any Google service, you would end up using Plus in one for or the other. It does not have to beat Facebook. Eventually everyone of your friends would be using Plus in a similar manner and at that time, you would have to decide... Continue Facebook which is an external service with its own series of headaches... Or just start using Google+ because it offers most features along with integration with services that you have been using for years.
