That's not really fair. Google has been pretty good about defining activity on G+, much more so than either Twitter or Facebook. For example, they give individual numbers for total users visiting G+ on web/mobile, people using G+ features across all products (+1s, shares, comments), and total number of accounts.

- frostmatthew 13y agoThanks, that's interesting, I've only seen the "active users when counting Google properties with Google+ features" type numbers but nice to see a number (135m) for actually using G+ (probably higher now since that link is a few months old). Though I disagree with your [original] statement that Google is "defining activity" much more so than Facebook http://newsroom.fb.com/content/default.aspx?NewsAreaId=22 http://newsroom.fb.com/content/default.aspx?NewsAreaId=22
- turing 13y agoIt is nice that they break up mobile from the total and that they provide daily active users. That said, I didn't see anything on that page that actually defined what they mean by 'active', so I think my point still stands. Then again, it's known Facebook usage is, for the time being at least, significantly higher than G+, so I guess it doesn't really matter.
