Google+ More Closely Mirroring Facebook
Company breaks out new features, user numbers
When Google broke out Google+ user numbers back in September, there was scrutiny of how many of its 100 million monthly active users visited the Facebook-like social network versus affiliated properties like Google+ Local, a Yelp-like locations guide. Google cleared up these questions today in a blog post announcing updated user numbers and new product features.
Of the 500 million users that have signed up for Google+, 235 million are active users—which includes “+1'ing apps in Google Play, hanging out in Gmail, connecting with friends in Search…,” according to Google—and 135 million actively check out the Google+ stream (its version of the Facebook News Feed or Twitter stream).
