What happened to Google+?
- dredmorbius 12y agoAs author of the G+ user study mentioned in this article, I very strongly recommend the follow-up performed by Eric Enge of Stone Temple Consulting based on a larger random sample of 500,000 profiles from multiple Google+ sitemaps. https://www.stonetemple.com/real-numbers-for-the-activity-on-google-plus/ https://www.stonetemple.com/real-numbers-for-the-activity-on... Enge largely substantiates my earlier findings, though with greater precision: Users with 50 or more posts ever who have also posted publicly within the past 30 days: 6.6 million. Total profiles with any public posts: 112 million. Ten or more posts ever: 21.8 million. Enge also extended the analysis I'd performed based on Google+'s "Followers" and "Views" profile data, again substantiating my findings that publicly-active profiles have much higher follower and views activity. Assertions by Google+ boosters that there's some vast quantity of non-public activity seem unsubstantiated. It's also worth noting that both Enge and I are quite active on G+.

This has of course been around the beginning (when both you and I were also around). The "readers of the gaps" argument, "you can't PROVE there aren't a zillion users there! Oh, you did prove they're not there in particular. But you can't prove they're also not in this other place! Ha!" Has anyone condemned you as a Facebook shill yet?
