Are people really using Google+, the social network that Google launched last year?
During the company’s earnings presentation on Thursday CEO Larry Page said Google+ has more than 90 million registered users,. That more than doubles the 40 million that Google reported in October.
“We’re very excited about the growth we’ve had, and we’ve certainly seen a tremendous number of people added every day,” Page said. “That notion of identity is a deep part of what we’re doing.”
Google rolled out its social network last June. Since then, it has added tool bars and other buttons on its site to sharply promote the service. Google stirred up disputation last week when it began giving remarkable placement to Google+ pages in results delivered by its search engine.
