This is just ridiculous. G+ may be a ghost town, but I know than for me and all of my friends, 99% of our activity is non-public. If Google's goal is to get a lot of public activity, then yeah, they're not doing so hot. But this article doesn't do much to convince me that it's actually a ghost town.
- ryanmolden 14y agoGoogle should release numbers around this then if they want to stop articles like this. I recently signed up for a new GMail account and it automatically enrolled me in Google+, so I am highly skeptical of their number of new users metric since they seem to be inflating it by tying unrelated things together. It may make sense for them to try and tie things together into one cohesive identity, but it is hard to deny it also conveniently inflates Google+ numbers, at least the only numbers they seem willing to talk about publicly.
- RobAtticus 14y agoSure, I can agree to that. I have a feeling that the numbers aren't good enough to release. Again, I don't want to imply that I think G+ is as active as Facebook/Twitter, just that I think the study is pretty much useless. After all, if I was using my friend group as a metric for how well a product was doing, Wave would still be alive...
