Official: Google+ Has More Than 40 Million Users

In Google‘s quarterly earnings statement, the company’s CEO Larry Page has revealed that Google+ now has more than 40 million users. It was estimated at the end of last month that the social network had 50 million users.
“We had a great quarter,” said Page. “Revenue was up 33% year on year and our quarterly revenue was just short of $10 billion. Google+ is now open to everyone and we just passed the 40 million user mark. People are flocking into Google+ at an incredible rate and we are just getting started!”

Google+ launched in limited field trial at the end of June before allowing anyone over the age of 18 to sign up without an invite last month when it went into open beta. Page confirmed in July that the social network had
10 million users within its first 2 weeks.
