Facebook Says That Google+ Has No Users

dkd903 noticed another amusing shot in the battle between G+ and Facebook. CNN is running a story where Facebook's director of game partnership Sean Ryan basically says Google+ has no users. The article is mostly about casual gaming on social platforms, which I am really sick of individually blocking.

    Isn't no Farmville spam the entire selling point of Google+? Everybody I know using it is there precisely because it's NOT Facebook and doesn't have all the annoying spam (and even more annoying emo users) that make Facebook a wasteland of human stupidity.

    Google+ has no users, but Facebook has no users worth talking to.
    I think I'll take Google+ if I'm forced to choose one.

    There are no companies (users in Facebook speak) actively mining your content on Google+.

    With one obvious exception ...

    It's sad watching people argue over which advertising conglomerate they want to give all their personal information to.

  6. Re:isn't G+ still invite-only beta? by Dahamma · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Actually, this invite-only beta already has over 25 million users. 5% of Facebook's user base in a month by invitation only isn't too shabby.
