Three weeks into Google+ and I’m seeing more and more people get into the service and adding people into their circles. And from the looks of it, Google+ users are more engaged that FB and Twitter.
I only have around 895 912 people adding me in their Circles today but the amount of conversations and interaction we have on the Stream is more active than say our Facebook Fan Page (12k+ fans) and Twitter (4.6k followers).
Maybe it’s just the breath-of-fresh-air effect — Google+ is still very new and on an invite-only so users tend to be more excited and curious about the service and thus, making them more active on the network.
Another site called FindPeopleonPlus.com also indexes Google+ users (around 1M as of today) and came up with stats of users per country.
Surprisingly, the Philippines is not on the Top 10 (Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nepal are even ahead of us.) I think we should be gaining more ground by now (hey, we’re the top Facebook users in the world for nothing) and by the next roll out of their index, we could be in the top 10.
The other side of the theory is that Google+ is just for early-adopters and not really mass market (read: pang-masa) just like how Friendster and Facebook became.
But let me go back to my question — Is Google+ good cool enough to replace Facebook as your top destination?
I deactivated my FB account and currently an active G+ user…
Btw, abe, can I ask help how to get a G+ account? anyone can share or invite? thanks in advance..

sir yuga,
Mayroon pa po ba kayo slot for google+ invite?
If it has Pet Society and Restaurant CIty and I can port all my paid items, why not?
But if not, no thanks, hehehe.
google + is a bit boring.
Not sure tho tingin ko me potential, ndi ko pa kasi na try kaya ndi pa ako makapag comment. Invites naman dyan para ma try out.
each dog has its day. myspace, multiply and friendster used to be the top players. then came facebook, twitter, etc. now its g+’s turn.

ive got my own account. looks interesting, but certainly google has to put more improvement for this one.
it feels like im playing table tennis alone here, LOL! for now, im just keeping my G+ account for the sake that i have an account hehe…
FACEBOOK still rocks! with the added skype feature, most of your friends are there, all news and info are on my stream, its basically a one stop shop!
and the winner is…. TWITTER for me, news and info comes at any time of the day! it s one powerful social media tool!
Only when G+ is able to attract a significant number of active members (who regularly collaborate and socialize in G+) will it be considered a possible competitor or contender to FB’s crown or they can co-exist, so Google better not be stingy and start sending out those invites. :)

For me, I’m just keeping my account to outhipster everyone on google+.

I think the reason why Philippines is not included is because they limit the number of people sign up for Google+. Like me, I tried many times to get an account but unfortunately not able to get a slot.
As of now… NO! But maybe Google is already receiving pros and cons from their current users. So there are still more space for improvements.

Too early to tell.
Looks good on the surface though. Right now, it’s a little lonely with just a few peeps in the circles:)
Guys, pa invite nman sa Google+.
