Google Plus Members and Activity

In Google’s earnings call, CEO Larry Page announced that Google Plus now has 90 million users, and that the vast majority are active on Google either daily or weekly.
“There are over 90 million Google+ users, well over double what I announced just a quarter ago,” Page said. “Plus users are very engaged with our products. Over 60 percent of them engaged daily and 80 percent engaged weekly.” The important thing to understand is that these 60 and 80 percent figures refer to users accessing any Google service whiled logged in to their Google account. These numbers do not actually represent Google+ usage each day or week. The 90 million figure, however, is correct at representing how many users created an account.
The huge increase in overall numbers is more than likely due to Google making Plus links part of search results and integrating the social network into Google Apps, Gmail, Picasa, and everything else Google is part of. Google+ is growing fast, but still quite a bit behind Facebook’s 800 million active users and Twitter’s 100 million active users.
Page also took the time to share that Google is signing up many new enterprise customers for its Google Apps suite, including 110,000 employees at BBVA, Google’s largest business productivity deal that has been publicly disclosed. Advertising, as usual, remains Google’s biggest revenue, account for 96 percent of quarterly revenue. Google stated that mobile advertising is a growing part of total revenue, but wasn’t willing to specify how much it accounts for.
