Google+ Loses 60% of Active Users

[Daniel]

Despite users' curiosity around Google+, it seems like most Google+ users just wanted to see the platform before returning to Facebook. 'Google has lost over 60 per cent of its active users on its social network Google+, according to a report by Chitika Insights, raising questions about how well it is doing against its rival, Facebook. Despite the clear interest in an alternative to Facebook, it does not appear that the people joining are staying around and actively using the web site. Google's problem is not getting users in the first place, it seems, but rather keeping them after they have arrived. For now it appears that a lot of users are merely curious about Google+, but return to the tried and tested format of Facebook when the lustre fades. The problem is that Facebook is not going to rest on its laurels while Google attempts to get the advantage. Already it has added features inspired by Google+, particularly in terms of improving the transparency of its privacy options.'

Google's Management doesn't use Google+

Well whenever there is something new people try it out and realize it isn't like what they are use to and go back to the old way. Confident that they are not a close minded individual.

Exactly..
There was huge expectations for G+, but now it doesn't seem so.
Nothing quite new nor interesting to switch over to it ..
May be they should try something new

Well this wasn't the case when there were orkut and facebook.

People realized they needed something new and FB gave it all. But now Google+ has something new but people are so much used to FB crap that they are not able to cope into G+ is what I feel.

You can say what ever you want, there is already to much those social network sites...
I personally even don't use them
I have phone, email, skype, msn that's enough ( I would say too much) for me to communicate and share something with my friends,family....
Now whats the point from those social networking sites??
Every day you get invite to join social network and they all different
What for? To get million friend which you dont know? Or to share all over the world that you bought some new phone or pair of jeans? People even share when they go to toilet and how big shit was.... Social network
Nah

The biggest problem is that those of us who want to move to Google+ can't convince enough of our less techy friends to move over. People go where people are. It isn't the best tech that wins but the largest market share.

I wish they didnt exist, Facebook and G+, even if they bring massive traffic to some websites, but you share all your information (pictures, videos, data) with strange people you dont know. Just think how many scammers are there!? I dont have a Facebook profile or G+ profile, i really hate them, i only use them to drive traffic to my websites. And do cookie sniffing
