Google Plus was launched to rein Facebook in the Social Networking arena, but I don’t think it’s going to happen in coming future. That’s why I’m not surprised by the stats made available by GigaOm and Bime Analytics.

What’s with the strike-throughs? Has new information invalidated the lion’s-share comments? *puzzled*

I don’t think they ever will hit the threshold you’re talking about. Don’t let the buzz about Google+’ early success and popularity fool you, all they’ve done is reinvent the social networking wheel http://bit.ly/pHlaUU

Likewise, our original post and the infographic itself has been updated.

I read it somewhere that more than 80% or Google + users are inactive and don’t use Google+ often. I blame the invitation only policy.

It’s simple really……you are not going to be as active on a site that you don’t have tons of friends on. Google+ will pick up slowly but surely.

Thanks for your work on this over the weekend, Sharon. The article is now corrected.

Lack of a Symbian client for Google+ along with nonsense from Google themselves has pretty much determined which social site I would use (Symbian has not one but two Facebook clients for my phone + FB messaging on a third one). Cheers!

Not knowing the ‘interpretation’ of the data..or the basis of that interpretation.. you still go ahead and TITLE your post as “83% of Google users are inactive”! WoW! You just validated someone else’s junk data! Can I get my junk data posted on your site for it to be marked as valid please?

I see that Bime has now pulled the “83% of Google+ users are inactive” stat out of their infographic. http://bimeanalytics.com/blog/update-about-active-vs-inactive-users-google-user-stats-from-findpeopleonplus/ Will story be updated here?
