Google+ Growth Explodes

Google+ Growth Explodes | "#Google+, +1, Facebook, Twitter, Scoop, Foursquare, Empire Avenue, Klout and more" | Scoop.it
Google+ users have in the last few days increased by almost 30% with 2 major events providing the catalyst to its growth. Facebook making significant changes that has angered users and Google+ opening its platform to the public.

 

Excerpt:

 

According to a survey being run on Mashable, 78% of users hate the new changes.

Users to Facebook who don’t like the changes are venting their anger by using the hashtag #newfacebook on Twitter when making their feelings felt in 140 character bursts. If you want to watch the comments fly by in the Twitter stream, then check it out… it makes interesting reading.

 

The timing is apparently working well for Google+ with Paul Allen estimating that the Google social networking has grown by 30% in just two days. Paul’s estimates of Google+ growth are based upon solid sampling methodologies that have proven to be very accurate in the past.

 

Facebook announced some major changes last week including significant modifications to its profile pages at the annual F8 Developers Conference.

 

Just a few days before that announcement Google+ decided to open its doors to the general public. I don’t think that is a coincidence!

 

The conference and some of the changes were already publicly known and Google was well aware of the conference timing.

 

The timing is apparently working well for Google+ with Paul Allen estimating that the Google social networking has grown by 30% in just two days.

Live Video Streaming: Google Hangouts On-Air Now Available for All

From Google's official announcement: "Today we're excited to launch Hangouts On Air to Google+ users worldwide. 

 

With just a few clicks, you’ll be able to: Broadcast publicly. By checking "Enable Hangouts On Air," you can broadcast your live hangout—from the Google+ stream, to your YouTube channel or your website—to the entire world.

 

See how many viewers you’ve got. During your broadcast, you can look inside the hangout to see how many people are watching live.

 

Record and re-share. Once you're off the air, we’ll upload a public recording to your YouTube channel, and to your original Google+ post. This way it's easy to share and discuss your broadcast after it's over.

 

Of course, launching millions of live stations takes some doing, so we're rolling out Hangouts On Air gradually, over the next few weeks."
