Google+ adds 1 million users in past month
Social network now has total of 540 million users
Service continues to grow rapidly, despite skepticism from some analysts
Google+ has added 1 million users in the past month, bringing its total number of users to 540 million. The service has been growing rapidly since its launch in 2011, despite skepticism from some analysts who questioned whether it could compete with Facebook and Twitter.
Google+ has been particularly successful in attracting users in emerging markets, where it has been able to take advantage of the growing popularity of smartphones and tablets. The service has also been helped by its integration with other Google products, such as Gmail and YouTube.
Despite its rapid growth, Google+ still trails Facebook in terms of total users. Facebook has over 1 billion active users, and it continues to grow at a steady pace.
However, Google+ has been able to carve out a niche for itself as a social network for people who are interested in sharing and discussing content. The service has a number of features that make it unique, such as its ability to organize content into collections and its emphasis on privacy.
