The social network competition continues

If the news is the entry of Facebook into the bag and what is expected to gain in profits, its competitor Google + also has a lot to say. The date for the arrival of the social network’s 100 million followers was on 25 February, but right now, that number is already exceeded.

As usual, analyst Paul Allen who is always outstanding figures: Google announced that yesterday the first Wednesday of February, social network came to 100.8 million users. The president of Google, Larry Page presented official figures on 19 January in which he spoke of 90 million in Google +, Allen argues that the growth since that announcement is over 10%.

Allen published the figures on an entry in your Google Profile + show growth. At this time each day will add 750,000 new users and Allen projected to continue that growth continued to the end of the 2012 will have 345 million people using circles and all network services.

There are several reasons for that growth could be attributed, for the changes that took the network from the announcement of Page are designed at the opening of the social network. The first was to allow the use of nicknames, one of the points that caused more interest on users.

The second, a little more recent, is the opening of the social network for children under 13 years, making their own statements, allowed the entry of one of the most active segments on the Internet, then you can think of them as digital natives who want to be active in Google +.

Allen is very optimistic with their forecasts, believing that the growth rate not only maintain but increase. Expected to arrive by year’s end at least 400 million users, which the analyst attributed the growth to be Android 4.0 or Ice Cream Sandwich.

The numbers of users between the two networks is still not comparable, since Facebook has 845 million members, but it speaks of competition is the short time that Google has made its 100 + million. In the end it is the users will benefit as companies in their plan to make changes to attract and the end is he who chooses which one wants to be. Or in the two.
