reminds me of how Orkut was that website more populated by the brasilians than anything else
GoogleBR+ looks like this social network has an amazing future

yea, orkut was really popular in developing nations
[QUOTE=Turing;40628931]yea, orkut was really popular in developing nations[/QUOTE] IIRC Orkut only really went anywhere in Brazil, and besides, Google was keeping quiet enough about it to be able to shove it under the rug when it plateaued. Google+ has already become their official social hub, so they can't really ignore if it did as poorly as Orkut did. Granted its first-world traction still hasn't picked up, but the Youtube and Android integration might do good to keep it rising in the long term. I'm not sure Google could've hoped for much better given the conditions. [editline]13th May 2013[/editline] Not to mention Facebook user counts have been dropping in other first-world nations for months/years now, though whether or not those people would care to use Google+ as a replacement remains to be seen.
That explains the article a while back saying Google+ had active users.
yahoo messenger is still very popular in the pan-asian region and yahoo auctions still exists in japan
bric squad [editline]13th May 2013[/editline] though honestly i haven't heard of anyone using G+ here. save for one university professor...
google+ is a really good site, its just everyone here uses facebook so i have no reason to make the transition
The only reason I have a google+ account is because I accidentally created one after flashing a new rom on my android phone. I guess I accidentally hit yes on the part that asks if you want to create a google+ account.
huh, I'm brazilian and I don't know shit about google + but that's me
I use nothing but Google +, I would use facebook, but everyone I know, and people I don't even know bitch at me when I don't add them or do something, so I just don't even use facebook anymore.

You're profile is automatically filled in with name and age and stuff from your other accounts and activated.
the Google+ Hangout is the best shit ever. [editline]14th May 2013[/editline] if I have the chance I prefer it over skype.
