Social Network User Statistics as of July 2011
Social networks have grown phenomenally over the last few years. Google+ is the newcomer to the list of social networks.
Google plus is still in free trial mode and not yet launched to the public. Being relatively new, it has a long way to go in terms of features (also keep in mind that google+ has brought in new innovative features that no other social network currently has) and user base. Google+ was the fastest social network to reach 25 million users in just a month.
So, we thought it would be really interesting for our viewers to know the current user base of all the popular social networks.
Here is a quick recoup of social networks user base as of July 2011.
| 750 million users | |
| 250 million users | |
| 115 million users | |
| MySpace | 50 million users |
| Google Plus | 25 million users |
It would be really interesting to closely watch these numbers change over the next few months or years.
The current demand from the youth is a networking site which in itself is self sufficient for providing an individual with all the needs like- songs, videos, friends, messages, jobs, vacancies, parties and everything for which one never gets bored out as we got with facebook now.
The networking site should even contain softwares and discussion forum to provide a user with all round needs, which i believe google can only do and do it easily.
I think this list will look very different in six months. My space will not even be on the list. However I am not sure how they ended up on the list considering that I have not looked at myspace for six months.
Google+ have great potential for business….if Google want to truly go social….perhaps now is the time to consider employing an Anthropologist or Service Market Guru! Consumers know what they want; the consumer is now more knowledgeable and experienced. An Anthropologist or Service Market Guru would be beneficial; thus making better use of the resources available.
