Where is Google Plus Going?

This is a very interest info-graphic and makes me ask the question where Google Plus is going. I have wondered about this and the competition - Facebook. Sure Google has search engine power but Facebook has momentum.


Here are some thoughts from Jeff Bulla " I am finding that it is hardly referring any traffic to my blog (despite having over 7,000 followers on Google+)

In speaking to other bloggers at the “Social Media Down Under” conference recently they agreed that they were only posting there because it was Google. What I am finding also is that Pinterest drives more traffic to my blog than Google+. A lot of users are posting but only because it is a Google property!"

Here are some of the findings regarding Google Plus:

•  The average post has less than one +1, less than one reply, and less than one re-share.
• 30% of users who make a public post never make a second one.
• After making five public posts, there is a 15% chance that a user will not post publicly again.
• Among users who make publicly-viewable posts, there is an average of 12 days between each post

Other research reveals that Google+ users spend on average only 3 minutes a month versus Facebook at over 400 minutes.*
