Google+ grows to become 2nd largest social platform globally

Google+ has taken some exemplary moves over last few months which have helped transforming the stage for it by becoming the number two in recently published ranking by globalwebindex.

Once criticized as the ghost town by large portion of media. More than 300 million users must nullify that statement by now. So Google+ despite being branded a failure or ghost town, grew in terms of active usage by 27% to 343m users to become the number 2 social platform.  

And Youtube , another mega service by Google is at number 3. Youtube is now showing the immense opportunity of linking Google’s services through the Google+ social layer. This is how, Google+ integrated with so many Google products which can define the future of search and the internet.

Business persons & general users used to think of Twitter & Facebook are the two best social network to promote business.  Probably it were true till Q4 2012 when Google+ was in number 3 and Twitter & Facebook toping the list with number 1 & number 2 positions respectively. So bottom line is business person, digital marketer or be it general user, Google + is a must considerable one for the time being.

One may not get 100 comments on Google+ but the quality of them will be superior and more in depth that some of the inconsequential stuff one will get on Facebook, for example.

So to me it’s time we give importance to Google+ in order to help our business and drive traffic and quality interactions.

Here is how to get started with Google+
