The impressive Google+ statistics highlighted by the Google CEO Larry Page during the company’s quarterly earnings report last week has revealed that there has been a two-fold increase, to 90 million, in the number of Google+ members quarter-on-quarter.

With Page also drawing attention to the fact that nearly 60 percent Google+ users are engaged in the use of the social network on a daily basis and 80 percent use it once a week, it is now being believed that the doubled Google+ membership over the last three months is apparently a result of a brute-force signup process.

Going by the statistic used by the Page, any action which the users perform during their log-in Google session – be it Web surfing, checking Gmail, or using Google Docs – is counted as an ‘engagement.’

As such, Google has largely been averting any clarifications about precisely how much percentage of the reportedly 90 million Google+ users actually view their Plus content on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. The company is of the opinion that Google+ is so integrated into the overall experience that in the end what actually matters is the number of users who interact with any of the Google sites.

Moreover, with the non-Google-affiliated Google Operating System blog having recently noted that the opening of new Google Accounts necessitates Gmail and Google+, Google has explained that the refreshed sign-up is aimed at developing “a consistent sign-up flow across our different products as part of our efforts to create an intuitive, beautifully simple, Google-wide user experience.”
