How do they define 'user', for Google+? Facebook's metric is 'active users' which I believe are people who have visited the site during the past 30 days.
If Google+'s definition of 'user' is simply someone who has registered for a Google+ profile, then they are overcounting enormously.
My feeling is that they are indeed disingenuously overcounting, in the same way they do with Android, where they talk about the number of 'activations' rather than device sales.
- lukesandberg 15y agoIn the case of android, Google doesn't even have relationships with every carrier that sells android phones so 'activations' are the only metric that would actually cover everything. why do you think that they are not using a 30-day active definition of user?
- gms 15y agoBecause I know a lot of people who use Facebook, and next to none of those use Google+ (even though many registered in the beginning). This is the same for many people I know. So I'm taking a guess. As far as I can tell the only people using Google+ are tech people.
