Google+ Is Crushing It

Ancestry.com Paul Allen estimates that there are approximately 10 Million Google + users now, and that total could reach 20 Million by this weekend.

What is Google +?  Google + ("plus") is Google's answer to Facebook.   The video below will give you a glimpse of this new social media platform.  If you like what you see, you can jump into this new space at http://plus.google.com.  Google + hasn't been available to the general public, but seems to be opening up a little at a time (a very clever marketing move, I might add).

I think I like Google +, maybe better than Facebook.  My question from my last post still lingers:   "Why would somebody either switch from Facebook to Google + or add it as a second social network?" 

I'm starting to find out, along with 10 to 20 Million others.  I think that Google got it right this time, and I'm excited to see what the future brings.  How about you?

Thanks for sharing 146 seconds of your day,
Smitty
