Google is on top but not Google Plus for 2011

Accordingly to alexa, Google.com is still a top worldwide visited website over facebook which is in 2nd rank and yahoo, 4th rank and according to recent research tracking unique monthly visitors per month by Nielsen, statistic in United States.

A Nielsen study shows Google is the top digital U.S. web company, with more than 150 million visitors each month. The search giant’s nascent social network Google+, however, is not to credit for the majority of that traffic. 

from the net


In the report shows Google+ in 8th rank among all other social networks and blogs with only 8,207 Avg Number of Unique Visitors per month, comparing to facebook, 1st rank 137,644 visitors.

If we look back to Nielsen's report of June 2010, facebook got 127,011 visitors comparing to 2011 average visitors per month, facebook growth not much than 2010. This could be a good sign for other social networks such as Google+ to build the population in 2012 in my opinion.

In Cambodia, Alexa shows that facebook is still a popular access website even comparing to Google.
And the SocialBakers statistic also show a big growth of facebook users in Cambodia if compare to 2010.
Our social networking statistics show that Facebook penetration in Cambodia is 3.04% compared to the country's population and 575.85% in relation to number of Internet users. The total number of FB users in Cambodia is reaching 449160 and grew by more than 119480 in the last 6 months.
How do you think between Facebook and Google+ today and 2012?

Revise on the song: "What Is This Google Plus?" in late August 2011


WTF is Google Plus? It's Google's new social network that allows you to be a judgemental prick without anyone ever knowing. Sounds good on paper, great in song.
That's the message quoted from original post of Break Media who produced a Google+ song: "What is this Google Plus?" in late August 2011.

At youtube, this video got 876,044 views, 10,526 likes and 651 dislikes (checked today).

Let's enjoy watching the video song again and review how is the Google+ now since it was established?

Congrate! Google Plus got now 62 Million Users, Adding 625, 000 a day

According to Mashable.com news today, Google plus has now 62 million users and is adding 625,000 new users per day.


Paul Allen, a Google+ watcher and the founder of Ancestry.com, said G+ will reach 100 million users by Feb. 25, 2012 and 200 million by Aug. 3. By this time next year, G+ will have close to 300 million users.

Hitwise found that total visits to G+ hit 9.4 million for the week ending Dec. 17, the most recent full week it tracked.

We could see Google Plus need a long way to go for his competitor, facebook that currently has around 800 million users already, provided in socialbakers but between around 6 months period since Google+ launched, this number is a good start for the year 2012.


Google+ is a social network, was launched on June 28, 2011, in invitation-only which was intended for testing and on September 20, 2011, Google+ was opened to everyone 18 years of age or older without the need for an invitation.

Public Video Broadcasting 'On Air' made easy via Google Plus, Hangouts

According to TechCrunch.com, on 14th December, Google announced some major improvements to the way Hangouts work — and how they’re being more deeply integrated into your Google+ stream.


The improved feature provides the addition of a ‘Hangout’ button beneath the various status and photo updates that you and your friends post. Click it, and the site will launch a Hangout specific to that status update — so you can chat live over video about the link, story, or photo that was just posted. Other users can join the Hangout by clicking on a link that appears in the post’s comment section.

‘On Air’ is ease-of-use so that it could get the attention of celebrities or political candidates who might, say, want to stream an impromptu live interview.

Currently in Cambodia, many people start using Google plus but it can't compare to facebook users due to most of Cambodian people use Google+ are tech. persons, university students and especially all their friends could be found on facebook. But with this feature, they will benefit a lot. How do you think?
