The number of Google+ users, a new social network launched by Google at the end of June to compete with Facebook, exceeds 10 million.
The main quality that distinguishes Google+ from its rivals is its approach to online communication. Users organize their acquaintances into so-called “circles” – of friends, work colleagues, acquaintances etc. The new social network thus replaces the format “user – user” with “user – circle of friends”. “Google+ is also a great example of another focus of mine -beautiful products that are simple and intuitive to use,” said Google’s CEO Larry Page.
The second-quarter of 2011 can be considered successful for Google by almost all indicators. The company reported a 36,4% ($2.51 billion) increase in revenue compared to same quarter last year, confirming the effectiveness of strategies developed by new CEO Larry Page, who took charge of the company on April 4. Revenue for a single share rose to $7.68.
