Google+ becomes the second most popular social network behind Facebook

[newarkhiphop]

Move over Twitter, because according to Trendstream’s Global Web Index for Q4 2012, Google+ has managed to move into the second-place spot for social platforms. This puts it behind Facebook (although by a significant amount of users), with YouTube also managing to top Twitter. Now Twitter is in fourth place in terms of total active users, at least according to Trendstream’s collected data


That data estimates Facebook’s active user count was at 693 million at the end of 2012. Compare that the estimatated 343 million Google+ users at the end of the year, and it’s easy to see that Google+ has quite a bit of catching up to do. Still, that was enough to move Google+ in front of Twitter, with YouTube following closely behind.

I have an account I check maybe 2-3 times a month. Just not enough people I know that uses it and those that I do rarely update anything on it. The only real use it has for me is the instant upload of pictures for me.

exactly.

Google+ is trash...that shyt needs a MAJOR overhaul. They don't even offer a vanity URL from the start

GARBAGE

 

[Brock Landers]

It's basically only good in terms of getting your website better SEO results/returns, as Google will take into account a Google+ account tied in with that website in their search algorithm. It really does pay to have a Google+ profile in terms of web marketability alone.

yea but this is not TOTAL users, this is ACTIVE users

Don't you have to activate the account first?

 

[Responsible Allen Iverson]

How do they define active users? Are active users people that login once, see that nobody uses it, and never use it again?
