Google+ : Already 10 million people join Google plus with invite

Google+, the Web search engine behemoth’s Facebook rival social networking site gets 10 million users in its first two weeks, says Larry Page, the CEO of Google. Indeed, 10 million may be nothing in front of Facebook’s 750 million users. But the rate of growth is much higher on the still-in-beta Google Plus.

Google launched its Plus social network site two weeks back with a number of incredible features. Sign-up to the limited trail version of the social media site is invite-only now. One can join the site only if an already-joined friend invites him/her.

“Growth on Google has been great,” the newly-appointed CEO and co-founder of Google said. “Over 10 million have joined. That's a great achievement for the team. There has been a ton of activity.”

According to Page, there are more than 1 billion status updates and 2.3 billion +1s on Google+ a day. +1 is Google+’s replay to Facebook’s famous ‘like’ button. At a whole, Google Plus has intensified the battle with Facebook.

The new CEO of Google is to restructure the company like a start-up. More products are launched and many less-effective products are closed during the last quarter, in which the company posted an income of $2.5 billion, up 36 % from Q2 of 2010.

“Today, I see more opportunities for Google than ever before; we're just at the beginning of what we want to do,” the energetic Page say. “We're only at 1 percent of what's possible. Google is just getting started.”
