Google+ traffic dropping already?

Google's social-networking foray saw fewer U.S. visitors last week, and those who did visit spent less time on the site on average, according to new data released today by market researcher Experian Hitwise.

The figures quoted don’t really tell you anything outside of the fact that there aren’t as many
who don’t already use Google+ as there where a week ago. ;D

I personally think Facebook is still better than Google+ and initially there was a hype about Google+

Is your answer based on comparing what the 2 services have to offer ???
Do you have a Google+ account ???

I Think facebook is too dominant for anyone else to get any significant market share. However, it is only a matter of time before Facebook makes a change users dont like and then they will leave.

I won’t use another social network, It is enough with Facebook and Twitter. Also, I’m trying to abandon some services from Google. But I can’t deleted the account because I still using Reader and YouTube services, and gmail for two or three sites logins(in addition to receive their spams, sorry i say their notifications).

Yes…I have a Google+ account from long time back…The only good thing i found it that you can video chat with upto 10 people at one time in Google+ in Hangouts

But then I am pleased with the video chatting in Facebook…

And I guess I would have moved to Google+ if it was a separate entity…now its kinda a mixed up with the rest of Google services…from the screen you can access Gmail, Web Search and everything…which i don’t like…in the end, i returned back to Facebook

It's call integration. :) It makes it easy to switch from one service offered by Google to another. If you use a lot of their service, it's a great feature. :)

Quite frankly i’m missing the “Turn Google+ off”. I left Facebook because it’s filled with useless nonsense and is really only useful to get in touch with someone you know but have lost contact with him/her. And Google+ is not much different really. Only problem is that now i can’t turn the darn thing off since i’m relaly not using it. But now browser has to load bunch of scripts i’ll never use again (probably).

Does this help ??

You can also go to your Account Overview and scroll down to

From there Delete Profile and Social Features.
Hope that helps. :slight_smile:

Thanks Bob ! I was wondering how to get rid off this google+ nonsense myself aswell. ;D

So if i use “Delete profile and social features”, my Google should return back to how it was before Google+ ? Because i’d like to have this feature available if i’d ever still want to use it but i’d prefer to keep it disabled right now.

@Darth.Mikey,
Your welcome. (I’m planning on keeping it. :slight_smile: )

@RejZoR,
That’s my interpretation. It should restore your Google to what it was before you added or accepted the Google+ invitation. :slight_smile:

It will delete the public profile that is associated with Google+. If you didn’t have a public profile before using +, you’ll be okay. If you put + into an existing profile, it will delete that entire profile and everything else in it.
