Recent reports show that the Google+ button is now on 1 million sites and appears in 4 billion impressions every day. But, Juan Vargas of Tug asks, who is using it?
The new social network, Google+ was introduced in July this year, and was billed as the Internet giant’s closest-yet answer to Facebook.
