That's the latest tally from 'unofficial Google+ statistician' Paul Allen, whose figures are now being closely watched. No, not that Paul Allen (Microsoft, American Psycho): this is the cofounder of ancestry.com who uses rare surnames to forge Google+ estimates, the latest of which now crosses a healthy 50 million.
That is, after just 88 days, a 'breakneck' if we've ever seen one. "Since being opened to the general public (over age 18) last week, Google+ has been growing by at least 4 percent per day, meaning that around 2 million new users have been signing up each day," Allen noted.
All of which makes this a great time to start ramping your Google+ strategy. Because Google has a huge base to convert, starting... now. "By integrating +1 and Circles (targeted sharing) and other Google+ functionality into its Chrome browser, Android phones (and tablets), Gmail, Google Reader, Blogger, Google Photos, and other properties, Google+ will give its more than one billion users repeated chances to sign up for and use the functionality of Google+," Allen relayed (of course, in a Google+ post).
All of this is happening against significant product development, including more work on profiles for companies (and perhaps bands as well...)

This is a grossly padded number, as suggested. I have a Google+ account and after adding a few friends, it wasn't valuable enough to continue to use. I'm sure they still count me as an active user, much like everyone else who has tried and abandoned the service. I will not be adopting a Google+ marketing strategy nor do I think this is any indication that Google+ will become a dominant social network.

Does anyone know how to cancel their account? I can't find any way to do it without erasing all of my google accounts. It's a useless function, but I don't know how to get rid of it.
