Beckham Google Plus

Things are not looking splendid for Google+. The network is, despite the (forced) growth of users, bleeding in activity.  Except for a few hardcore anti-facebookers, nobody is actively using the service, and you can hardly build a community on that lot… Add to that a continuous outage problem: the very unresponsive share field when you actually try to share links, trouble finding the link’s meta data, disappearing profiles, etc…

You would almost believe that Google announced its G+ importance on SEO-level just to lure the SEO-people worldwide into posting on the network. Not that it would have any effect if nobody is actually using the service after all.

In a desperate attempt to get the service known (that doesn’t mean being used, mind you!) Google has now used David Beckham in an advert to promote Google+. Watch the advert above… find the hotspot!

We aren’t convinced this will be the trigger for G+ to gain momentum amidst its silent user database though.

    Um, Google+ is gaining over half a million users every day. It’s projected to have 400 million users by the end of the year and surpass Facebook in 2013. I have no idea where you’re getting your info from.

    it’s not the number of registered users, it’s the interaction that I talk about. That interaction is close to zero.
