8 Percent of Facebook Users Wouldn't Migrate to Google+ Even With an Invitation
Almost three weeks since Google CEO Larry Page announced a Google+ user base of 10 million (in just two weeks), the number could now be up 20 or 30 million.
Although 30 million users is still small compared to Facebook's alleged 750 million users, does 30 million imply Facebook lost 30 million users? Or does it imply that 30 million users are simultaneously using both platforms to keep up with their friends and family?
The Christian Post launched an independent and unofficial online poll that has tallied 4,700 votes so far in order to better understand the behavior of online users using both Google+ and Facebook, or using only one of the two, or neither.
