Google Plus user base crosses 40 million mark
Google’s online social networking service ‘Google Plus’ has crossed 40 million users mark since its launch in June.
Google Plus now has attracted 40 million users, reflecting the huge interest in the social networking site which was opened to the public on September 20. Earlier, the service was available only through invitation as part of trial runs.
Interestingly, rival Facebook Inc took three years to reach the 25 million users mark and crossed the over 50 million active users mark in October, 2007. Facebook, founded in 2004, has now more than 800 million users across the globe.
“Google Plus is now open to everyone and we just passed the 40 million user mark. People are flocking into Google Plus at an incredible rate and we are just getting started,” Google Chief Executive, Mr Larry Page, said while announcing the company’s latest quarterly earnings.
