Google+ Registers 25 Million Visitors

hypnosec writes "Google Inc.'s new social networking platform Google+ is one of the first to boast of more than 25 million users in less than one month of the launch. Market research firm comScore in its latest report has revealed that Google+, which was launched to masses in late June, has managed more than 25 million visitors in a month and is recording around a million unique visits every day." I've been using G+ for awhile now, but since the grandparents will never leave Facebook, I'm still stuck with 2 systems.

Google+ (at least for the meantime) does not have "apps" posting to everyone's wall/stream, so I consider that a big benefit. Also the "circles" concept was simple enough for my 60 year old mother to understand, but facebook groups was not. Google+ is not totally inundated with spam (yet). Aside from things like sunk cost and the network affect (everyone you know is already on fb) there's not much good reason to use FB in my opinion. The ability to download all the data you'll post to G+ is an additional big plus for me, even though it doesn't necessarily mean anything to average joe.

Integration / Banning

[SydShamino]

Has Google fixed the policy to ban an account Google-wide if the G+ account is closed? I've had an invite but haven't joined as I don't want my other Google products (blog, photo depot) to be at risk if some jerk(s) or computer bug decides my real name isn't real enough.

This seemed to make a big buzz a week or so back, then just die off, so I'm not sure if they fixed it or if, like most other social networking stuff, everyone just decided to live with the nasty policies.
