Google has been pushing Google+ since its release, trying to quash the Facebook behemoth before it becomes too big to stop. Google+ has great apps for iOS and Android, awesome features like Hangouts with multiple people, and grew at an exponential rate. But based on personal observation and a new report from RJ Metrics, Google+ isn\u2019t as successful as some may think or Google may try to lead people to believe.<\/p>\n<p>A study based on usage data from 40,000 Google+ constituents shows that most public posts have less than one +1 and users make very few publicly viewable posts in general. The major issue with this study is that it only tracks public posts viewable to everyone, not private posts intended for one\u2019s circles. In a statement to <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/1837332\/exclusive-google-google-plus-ghost-town-weak-engagement-data-rj-metrics-study\">Fast Company<\/a><\/em>, who originally posted this study, Google stated that \u201cmore sharing occurs privately to circles and individuals than publicly on Google+.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of this study\u2019s validity given that focuses on public posts, Google+ certainly doesn\u2019t seem to be taking off. Maybe Google will provide the public with active Google+ user data. I hope for Google\u2019s own sake, as well as the need for competition, Google+ takes off. As of now, the future doesn\u2019t look too bright.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Google+ failing?
