Google+ shares numbers with NYTimes

  They're counting YouTube and the Android Marketplace as Google Plus-enhanced products? Well, then of course those numbers are high. I'd like to see how much direct traffic Google Plas receives.

    That they would try such deceptive tactics to prop up G+ shows how truly desperate they are.

  We all know G+ is struggling in traffic. It's no secret. Most moms don't use it. Most teens don't know what it is. Most grandmas haven't even heard of it.

  I fear I may be a different kind of chap than Mr. Gundotra, but if my friends were posting on Google+ then I don't think they'd be sharing tips on the best microwave to buy. I don't really understand why Google+ is so stagnant. I know I'm not attracted to it as no one I'm interested in posts there. I guess this is a classic (lack of) network effect. There's nothing much wrong with the interface, but with no reason for me to visit I can't see it going anywhere. Most damningly I do not know a single person in the real world who is also on Google+ and has posted more than once. A few have signed up after I nagged them, posted once and then given up, but the majority have not even got that far. Google need to find a feature that attracts users to Google+ in the first place. So far I can't name that.
