Google+ is the newest big-time social media to enter the race, but many question if it is necessary to invest in this.
Will we get back what is necessary with the effort that we invest in this?
We have to remember that every new social media takes time to learn the in’s and out’s and time is a huge resource we cannot get back.
One question that people are always asking is, who is using it? Does your audience match my demographic?
The infographic below is just the first of many more studies to come on who is using Google+.
Are you using Google+?
Why or why not?

Firstly, to answer you questions– Yes, I am using Google+.. And for me to go into why would take up several blog posts (and already has). Short answer, it’s a game-changer.
This infographic is both well done, and irritating at the same time. I’m so over the “is Google+ declining?” garbage. I wish people could see how completely ludacris that mentality is.
Here’s the mentality “I hope this fails so we can make catchy headlines about it and sell some more disaster news. So lets take every chance we can to show that its failing, even if we have to stretch truths– heck, forget truth, we’ll just make stuff up because people don’t know any better!”
When was this infographic created though? Just 3 weeks ago Google+ hit 62 Million users, whereas this infographic states it barely has 40 million… I guess that just shows how much this whole Google+ fad is slowing down.

G+ has had a serious boom in the last month or so. I think it may be taking flight!

Who would have thunk… oh yea– I think I know a couple guys… 😉
Jeremy Smith says
I totally agree with you that this is true. Not sure if you thought we said that it was declining, but I never said it. In fact, I actually think that Google+ will completely control social media in 5 years.
The infographic is delayed a little bit, submitted a day after it aired and went live a couple weeks after it was submitted. Such is life.
