Introducing Google+ Pages!

http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/google-pages-connect-with-all-things.html

I am thrilled to welcome brands, bands, businesses, etc. back in to Google+!

As most of you know, we "kicked out the brands" in the early going on Google+... Not because we don't love them (we do!) but because we wanted to create the right experience for users, as well as the brands themselves.

Today we've launched that experience. This is a very big day for us... thank you to the brands and businesses that have waited patiently as we perfected this... and huge congrats to the multiple teams that made this happen...

As with any Google+ launch, we know we have a lot to learn... This is the start, not the finish line.... we depend on your feedback. Let us know what you think!

Will Google+ Cut into Facebook Time?

According to this Nielsen Media report, in May 2011 Americans spent more minutes on Facebook than on Yahoo, Google, AOL, and MSN/Bing combined. That is pretty astonishing.

Personally, I now spend about 80-90% of my social networking time on Google+. My wife is still all Facebook. So is my extended family. My 22-year old college grad daughter is using Google+ to help her launch her writing career and she has 1,200 followers so far, but my two college daughters are still all Facebook for social reasons. My three teenage sons all have Android phones and can't wait for Google+ to be available to kids under 18.

The $64 billion question is, Can Google+ go mainstream and start cutting into Facebook time for family/friend communications? For me, Google+ is already the best social network for professional and tech conversations and for... more »

No More Smiles

That's the caption suggested by the blogger who writes as Pourmecoffee on Twitter about this photograph of Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali, Ali Abdullah Saleh, Muammar el-Qaddafi and Hosni Mubarak at a summit in the Libyan city of Surt in October 2010.

A LOT has happened in less than 1 year.

I thought I couldn't be more disgusted with congress this week. Until they approved an internet snooping bill disguised as child protection.

For those of you with an interest in javascript animation. I did this one using processing-js and canvas. It can be hard on your CPU. Requires an html5 browser.

A balanced discussion of the current situation. Verdict seems to be "not really", with really really pretty charts.

We are in the middle of our quarterly earnings call right now. Here are the remarks I just gave. One key stat: Over 10M Google+ users!

-Larry
----------
Good afternoon everyone--thanks for joining us today

It’s exciting to be on the call today and to share directly with you the progress we have made in my first quarter as CEO

As you will have seen from our press release we had a great quarter--with revenue up by 32 per cent year on year and a new record for quarterly revenue at over $9 billion!

We have substantially increased our velocity and execution this quarter--a key goal of mine since taking over as CEO

It’s why I created a new, product focused management structure--with a clear leader responsible for each product area

This new management team is working together fabulously … and has already achieved a lot in just threemonth... more »

Google+ To Pass 10,000,000 Users Tomorrow (on 7/12)

As I promised on Saturday night, I have finished updating my Google+ membership model with new data and re-estimated the Google+ user base.

My surname-based analysis shows that the number of Google+ users worldwide reached 7.3 million yesterday (July 10) – up from 1.7 million users on July 4th. That is a 350% increase in six days. The userbase is growing so quickly that it is challenging for me to keep up, since the number of users of any given surname (even the rare ones I am tracking) seems to be climbing every day.

More impressive than last week's growth is the astonishing growth in users from yesterday at mid-day to tonight -- a 30% jump. My latest estimate tonight shows approximately 9.5 million users. This suggests that 2.2 million people have joined Google+ in the past 32-34 hours.

"Now there is a nominal fee if you want to keep your current phone number."
"Yeah, I thought that was a free service."
"After you pay for it, it is free... so..."
"Okay."
"It's just a one-time free that you pay annually."
"That's not a one-time fee, but-"
"It is one time, in that you only pay one time a year."

Almost peed my pants, you guise. This show is so amazing.

All this red in the new google UI is throwing me off a bit. Maybe its just me, but nothing says error like the color red...
