The methodology of "active" users is always more than a bit suspect, but a) the source for this post (by some random person on g+?) isn't even from google and b) this:
> I'm actually kind of annoyed every time I have to log onto Google+ to do something because I know they are about to add me to some press release statistic. There's something "evil" about that in my opinion.
is a bit of an overreaction. You use hangouts and you dislike (if) that gets counted as an active user? Who on earth cares that much about self-promoting press releases?
- andybak 14y agoI agree about the overreaction but if you dial it back a bit there is a valid underlying point. If he does nothing social on Google+ then he isn't really contributing anything to it's growth other than a single digit in some statistics. I'd like to see some better metrics although I can see the practical difficulties in obtaining them.
- danmaz74 14y agoHow is talking with other people "nothing social"? Did you mean "nothing public to the World"?
- andybak 14y agoNot exactly but I agree I'm not being terribly precise. I'm floundering in trying to clarify to myself what the difference is but no-one usually describes email as 'social media' even when you use the cc field.
