Today we are launching CircleCount.com in japanese! You can find the japanese pages at http://jp.circlecount.com/

With the great help of 朝山貴生 (Takao Asayama) our japanese visitors will be able to browse through the pages of CircleCount.com in their own language. The translation to japanese was a big milestone since it’s not “only” translating everything to another language but also using another charset. This is something that has to be considered for example in our statistic pages, where everything is rendered as an image.

朝山貴生 (Takao Asayama)

We want to thank Takao for the whole work!
We are happy to have such a good partner in Japan and are looking forward for the next steps!

After the Follower Button is used on hundreds of websites we got a lot of feedback regarding (y)our button. Thanks a lot to our community for this great feedback!

Today we are happy to launch the CircleRank Button. You can use it the same way as the Follower Button. With this new button you will get your CircleRank on your website.

The CircleRank is your position in the global ranking regarding the number of followers. This number is updated daily, so that you will have always the current CircleRank on your website.

We are very proud at CircleCount.com that our community is starting to create their own, special statistics with our numbers.
Thank you Alfredo for being one of the first!

In CircleCount.com we are working with a lot of data coming from Google+. That leads to the expectation that the search on such a website has to be fast.

Unfortunately we are not directly related to Google, so we don’t have the resources Google has. But we are trying our best

Today we have done some optimizations so that the search on our startpage got faster. It’s just the first step, since we know that you are used to get your results in very short time. We are working on even more optimizations, so stay tuned.

A new feature regarding the search is the option to use a wildcard. You can use a “*” as a wildcard for multiple chars.

Try it out.
Any feedback is welcome, so that we can optimize CircleCount.com together with you.

You probably know already our button. A lot of people know it and are using it on their website. We are very proud to get such a great feedback from the community. Thanks for this!

Today Pedro Donaire asked us if it would be possible to get the content of the button translated. It wasn’t. But now it is!

The CircleCount.com Button in Spanish

In the moment there are three languages available:

• English (as default)
• German
• Spanish

It’s very easy to get the button in your language. Just add “&lang=XX” to the url of the button, where you can use “en” (English), “de” (German) or “es” (Spanish).

If you would like to get the button in another language: Just tell us. We will add the new language as soon as possible.

Today we are launching a new way to compare two profiles in Google+.
It’s a feature with a short name: A vs. B

You have two input fields on this page, where you can find the profiles you want to compare. Just start typing within these fields and you will get a suggestion list of the available profiles for this comparison.
