I talked to a social expert today. AKA the 17 year old in high school. And despite all the Google Plus is adding millions of users talk going on (see http://techcrunch.com/2011/12/27/googleplus/) he says the reality is that it’s still dead.
Social right now is still Facebook and twitter. No matter what the pundits may predict, Google still isn’t winning where it counts – in the hearts and minds of users of the platforms.
So if you still aren’t into Google plus, don’t worry, no one else is either.
-1 then?
It is on a path to have 400 million by end of 2012, which would be half of the largest current Social Network, Facebook. It took Facebook 4 years to get to the same numbers Google will be at.
But yeah, a 17-year old is probably the best source of information for predicting trends.
Im signed up twice, but don’t use it.
Sign ups are not enough, use counts too.
