Google's social network sees 37% jump in users
- shenoybr 13y agoI wonder how many of these users are real users. From what I know I need a google plus profile to review or rate Android apps or businesses on Google Maps. I really think they just growth hacked this number.
- benologist 13y agoBecause if you rate an android app you're a "google plus user"? Because if you comment on youtube you're a "google plus user"? Google+ doesn't really mean much more than "you use Google services", and their growth is inherently untrustworthy when they're still (forcibly) transferring users rather than acquiring them.
- robotcookies 13y agoI have some photos I had uploaded on Picasa a few years ago. I recently noticed that these photos have each become posts on my G+ account. Apparently they converted what was an album into a bunch of G+ posts. Now I have zero confidence in anything google claims.
- diorray 13y agoI think Google has expanded its team 37%
- jimeuxx 13y agoTrying to find a way to change my full name into a nickname on YouTube made me a Google+ "user". I've also received Google+ recommendation e-mails without ever willingly joining or participating in the service.
