Google’s new social networking service is about to top the 10 millionth user mark. Although Google has been known to fail miserably in the past to establish its own social networking service, it would seem as though their latest attempt has gone on to greater success.
Although Google has not yet released official user statistics for their Google+ social networking site, the initial estimates looks promising and their most popular users are already being followed by tens of thousands of people. If Google+ were to act smartly, they could get a few social networking heavy weight celebrities to do an endorsement deal, which would certainly help in flocking users to their service.
What does this mean for rival Facebook, then? Certainly Facebook’s 500million user strong backing is much more powerful and hardly in the same league as Google+’s 10million users – but then you are led to think back to Facebook’s beginning, and you remember that any force to be reckoned with had to have their early days too.
