Google+ is a huge social network, with 500 million registered users, but its users are not very vocal, only accounting to 2% social sharing when compared with other social networks.
In recent findings published by Gigya, Google+ only accounts to 2% social sharing when compared to other social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. This latest report highlights that while Google+ has the second largest user-base, its users are not actively using +1 and sharing buttons on their favorite websites.
Google+ has grown very quickly in its 2 year life, with 500 million users and 280 million active users, but is Google+'s success only down to the fact to Google requires users to create a Google+ profile to use any of their products, including YouTube.
Although Google+ released official numbers stating that Google+ Sign-In was leading to a high percentage of over-the-air app installs, social shares seem to be a bit lacking. When compared to Facebook, Twitter and even LinkedIn and Pinterest, it falls short in generating user active on Google+.
Gigya is well-placed to know. It offers social logins and plugins, including Google+ Sign-In, to more than 700 leading brands, and its stats cover 1.5B consumers a month. When you choose to Share, Like or +1 a link, the chances are high that Gigya processes that click.
