Wow, really?? In that case, what caused G+ to fail? I was always under the impression that it was due to (low) DAUs.

- ummonk 8y agoHigh MAUs doesn't necessarily translate to high DAUs.
- kkarakk 8y agoyeah i visited g+ primarily for the active dev communities oriented around google products. def just once or twice a week and the activity on those "circles" was pretty slow
- jng 8y agoIndeed, and high DAUs doesn't translate to a high number of engaged users either. Just a 301 HTTP redirect through a domain as part of a chain can count as DAU and mean nothing.
- StudentStuff 8y agoSlow growth/lack of user traction was what caused Google to pull the plug. Its a similar overarching problem to Twitter, but more of users being disinterested than actively repulsed due to the content the most popular users of said service post...
- doyoulikeworms 8y agoThe Wikipedia article goes on to talk about G+'s very low engagement. I wouldn't be surprised if Twitter's engagement rates were somewhere near Facebook's. > User engagement on Google+ was low compared with its competitors; ComScore estimated that users averaged just 3.3 minutes on the site in January 2012, versus 7.5 hours for Facebook.[22][23] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google%2B#Growth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google%2B#Growth)
- mrweasel 8y agoThat makes you question if they actually had 300 millions "active" users.
