- jrockway 15y agoNot every person on earth uses Google. There are still continents where the major concern for most people is living past 30. The Internet is not even on their radar.
- ez77 15y agoWhich continents? I wouldn't have asked had you used a singular term.
- executive 15y agoAntarctica is the obvious one.. I'd guess Africa is the other.
- ez77 15y agoIf anything Africa is the closest to being obvious. Antartica doesn't qualify, as it has no permanent population [1]. Even if it did, its non-permanent population is so many orders of magnitude behind the rest [2] that its inclusion in the original term 'continents' would be clearly misleading.

- Impossible 15y agoHe's exaggerating. Even in Africa most countries have a life expectancy over 30 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Life_Expectancy_2011_Estimates_CIA_World_Factbook.png http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Life_Expectancy_2011_Estim...), at least according to the CIA World Factbook. Even then in most African countries life expectancy averages are cut short because the high number of HIV infections. OP had a good point though, not everyone in the world uses Google, and not even all of the 2 billion internet users use Google.
- ez77 15y agoI'm puzzled by the downvote... There is plenty of granularity within every country, let alone every continent. But even allowing some rough generalizations, [1] shows that Africa is the only firm candidate for such an assertion.

- Tsagadai 15y agoI take it you don't travel much. You need to go to very small, very poor and extremely remote villages before you find no internet connections or people who are aware of computers. I have found a grand total of one, ever. I've visited unpowered, tribal villages of people who had no obvious access to western goods (no modern synthetic clothes, limited plastic, only a couple of steel items) but still knew what a computer programmer was when I told them my occupation. The world is remarkably modern and globalised now so try to update your previous century's vision of it.
- jrockway 15y agoSo you're saying these people use Google? Because that's what my post is referencing.
- hackinthebochs 15y agoA search user will not automatically translate into a google+ user. The question is how many unique gmail/picasa/blogger users does google have?
- zmmmmm 15y agoDon't forget the equally important question: how many Android phones will be sold? It's hard to buy an Android phone and not get sucked into the Google ecosystem - and I assume Plus will become a big part of that.
- thurn 15y agoIn fact, Google hit 1 billion monthly uniques for the first time in May: http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2011/06/21/google-notches-one-billion-unique-visitors-per-month/ http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2011/06/21/google-notches-one-bi...
