Google+ users up by 30%

While facebook is busy making a lot of changes last week, rival social network Google+ made a significant increase in its user base.

According to a post by Paul Allen, Ancestry.com co-founder and unofficial Google+ statistician, Google+ is up to an estimated 43.4 million users — and roughly a third of them have been added in the few days since Google+ opened itself to the public.

Google itself has generally been mum about user counts as its social network has grown, though it did cite 10 million users on July 14, not too far off from Allen's projection at the time.

Do you think the changes to facebook is an added factor to Google+ user base increase?
