In case you’ve missed Google’s Q2 Financial call today, you should know that its CEO Larry Page has already dropped the official number of users for Google+ soaring up to 10 million on its second week with up to a billion shared items everyday inside the social network.
Come to think of it, this is way bigger than the entire lifespan of Google Wave or Buzz, and we have a chart to prove that.
That graph you’re seeing there is based from the work of Sysomos, a web analytics company for social-media sites, and the result speaks for itself.
So here we have the red plotted line for Buzz and the blue one for Plus, and as you can see from the comparison, the first sixteen days of Buzz turned out sour with only 150k mentions for its highest, while Plus hit up to 250k mentions across the net.
Then again, we have the two superpowers – Facebook and Twitter – which eats Google+. The famous social network gathered the second rank of up to 800k mentions last week where the mega microblogging site averages for 900k mentions for the past two weeks.
If you’ll ask me, this report isn’t really a surprise. As buzzworthy G+ as it may seems , it’s not even reported on a daily basis if you’ll check Yahoo and MSN. In fact, some of my friends here only know Google+ as “Google+ the social network” and that’s it!
Like I said, Google+ is still in beta and if the company is serious enough to compete with Facebook or create a new paradigm of social-network diversity across the internet, it should keep on updating and bringing in new features. Check out the top 6 wishlist we’ve come up on this report.
