So with the seemingly fast rising popularity of Google+, Google’s newest social networking service, does this mean that there is also no stopping the world domination of Google? It might sound too far fetched today but didn’t it cross our minds as well that this thing called the Internet may not be as fancy as we all think it is? Ah, those were the good, old yet very naive days.
Going back to Google+…reports now say that the SNS market (outside China) is fast being penetrated by Google’s newest baby. Google’s +1 buttons may have only been out for about a month but the latest reports claim that more than 10 million people around the world have signed up for the service. Not bad for Google+’s very first week. We can just imagine the numbers now. Can we soon hear a fearless forecast of 50 million Google+ users in about 2 months?
According to search engine optimization companies, webmasters now frantically add the Google+ buttons in the hope that this can help attract more traffic, establish better search engine placement and yes, ultimately, better capacity to attract business. In fact, the Google+ buttons are now on 4.4 percent of at least 10,000 websites. This marks a jump from its initial 3.6 percent in June. If you compare these stats against Twitter, the latter’s plugins are only found on 3.4 percent of the 10,000 websites. Obviously that means that Google is doing a real good job in enticing more website owners to use the Google+ buttons and service.
However, the million dollar question now is…is Facebook, arguably the social networking website with the most users with about 750 million, worried at all? Or will they face Google and Google+ head-on? Certainly, these are exciting and fun times for social media and the Internet as a whole.
