Google may need to start to opening it up to everyone and fast.
Google Plus has been live for a month, and some have already begun to fret about its health. According to Experian Hitwise, Google Plus traffic for last week declined 3% from the week before. This might suggest that some of the initial shine has worn off, but it's certainly too early to call it a trend.
Google Plus has surpassed 10 million users, which is impressive considering the service is still limiting sign-ups. Referral traffic from the service might be down in some parts of the Web, but it's quickly become one of our top traffic sources at ReadWriteWeb.
Google+ visits had risen 283 percent in the week ended July 16. The average time spent on the site in the most recent week declined 10 percent to 5 minutes and 15 seconds, the research firm found.
Many people only joined google plus just to see what news things are present and after making a account left it and continued using facebook. Hardly people share something or comment upon anything in google plus. Facebook is still most people's main social networking site. Now after getting so many users in such a short span of time, google is required to add some engaging features to google plus or else people will leave it.
As facebook is still updating itself and the decline in the usage of google plus clearly shows that the battle is not yet over. Google plus gave a strong reason to the people to join but now it is required to give a reason for why they should come back and use it.
