Google Plus over Facebook: which is more popular?

Never did Facebook – the social networking service provider know that Google will pitch Google Plus against its social networking site and win the Internet customers over.

Founded in 2004 by Mark, Eduardo, Andrew, Dustin and Chris - Facebook as of September 2012 (about a year ago) had over 1 billion active users. Of them, many were fake users [suggest media reports]? Facebook serves the global audience, including ‘under aged kids’ that normally violate the site’s terms of service.

One may want to know, which is more popular: Facebook that launched in 2004 or Google Plus which hit the Internet market two years ago, in 2011.

Just two weeks after the launch, Google Plus reported about 10 million active users and its user base continue to grow than that of Facebook.

Be it blog hosting service, social information processing, networking sites or other products/services of Google – everything with the ‘Google’ label sells like a hotcake.
