I think calling G+ to be growing like crazy is misleading. Gmail itself has about 200 mio. users - migrating those users to a G+ account shouldnt be that difficult. What's really gonna be interesting is whether G+ will be capable of attracting new users, which are not yet part of google's 'services cloud'.
- lhnz 15y agoTrue, but I also think it will be interesting to see whether the users that get a Google+ account actually use it. I use Twitter for purpose-less tech/business opinions. I use Facebook rarely to talk to my brother and sister. I use Skype for work conversations. I don't yet see people using this enough for me to want to move to it. edit; If they created some kind of BBM-type android service that sat on top of Google+ I think it would make me switch my SMS usage because I have a lot of friends that use Android phones...

Presumably, Huddle will be part of the Google+ app on other platforms, too.

- kubrickslair 15y agoIt's not just migrating users, its keeping them interested in Google+ as opposed to Facebook.
