Google+ Approaches 18 Million Users




      



Google+ continues to set records as the fastest-growing social network in history,but the growth of Google+ has slowed somewhat over the past few days.




Ancestry.com co-founder Paul Allen posted his most recent analysis of Google+’s growth on his Google+ account Tuesday.

“Last week we saw two days where more than 2 million signed up in a single day,” Allen said in his post. “If that rate had continued, Google+ would have reached 20 million users by last Sunday night. But the last four days have averaged only 948,000 new users, and yesterday the site added only 763,000. Yesterday’s growth of 4.47% was the slowest viral growth since Google opened up invites back on July 6.”
