Let’s face it, no matter how good a Social Network’s technology is, it’s useless to you if no one you know is using it. Fortunately, Google+ is growing faster than any other Social Network, and that’s while it’s still in invitation only mode. Just look at these highly accurate numbers (they must be highly accurate, because I pulled them from some stranger’s post on the internet with no references! 
Days required to reach 10 million users for the following social network.

Here are some things you can do to get your friends over:
- Send them an invite, of course.
- Post your content to G+ and paste links to your G+ post on other networks, instead of posting directly to the content. For example, if you post a link to a youtube video to G+, get a link to your G+ post (This only works with posts you’ve made Public):
- That opens the post in it’s own browser window or tab. Copy the URL:
- Then, on Facebook:
- Paste the link:
- Click “Attach”, Type a description if there isn’t already one, Then click “Share”:
- Now, after they click your FB post, but they’ll be on the G+ website:
- A lot of people still haven’t heard of G+, so you can send them a link to this:
- Some people will ask what can it do that Facebook doesn’t. Send them a link to this:
- Let them know it’s more secure:
- All pages are encrypted by default. In fact, there’s no way to load a G+ page without it being unencrypted. FB tries hard to send you unencrypted pages, including the login page.
- You have control over who sees your posts with Circles.
- Facebook tries to make everything you do public by default and every few months, they keep changing the security and privacy user interface and when they do, they also undo your settings, making things public again.
- Facebook won’t let you export your contact data easily. G+ has a “data liberation” page where it will zip up all your contacts, posts, & photos for you to download and do with as you wish:
BTW, if you want an invite to Google Plus, e-mail me at 
. That’s not a clickable e-mail address… It’s a picture to prevent spammers from easily scraping it. You’ll need to type that address, exactly as you see it, including the G and the + in front of the word “Invite”. I’d also appreciate you clicking the “+1” at the bottom of this post.
