<p>I think that "Active Users" figure for Google+ is pretty inflated. A lot of people regard it as a bit of a <a href="http://adweek.com/socialtimes/persistent-google-ghost-town-myth/143906" target="_blank">flop</a>. I know that my gmail was really pushing it for a while and some of my family members looked like they were getting me to join. When I asked them about it they had no idea I was getting emails about it. Turns out Google was bugging everybody's contacts without permission. 8/10 I know use Facebook, so I can believe them claiming 1 billion.
