Cityville, the most popular game by Zynga is now available on Google plus

Very soon Google plus would allow its users to play Cityville – one of the most popular games by Zynga on its website.

The two companies have been partners for quite sometime now and Google is one of the investors in Zynga. This gaming platform was launched in August and one of the first titles that Zynga had was Zynga Poker.

Cityville has so far been able to draw a lot more traffic on Facebook than any other game and it is expected that after hosting this game on Google plus it would have a tremendous increase in traffic. As of now Google plus has 50 million users and Facebook has more than 800 million users.

As far as Zynga is concerned it is as if now dependent only on Facebook; by securing a place on Google plus it would surely have a lot more hits. This business tie up would definitely prove more profitable to Zynga because Facebook takes away 30% of its share of profits and Google supposedly is offering better terms.

Google plus gets 30% hike in traffic

It was definitely Facebook that made news over the last couple of weeks, but the young and experimental Google plus also seems to have made some major achievements. Google plus has been able to get 43.4 million users over the last couple of days and out of that more than 14 million users are completely fresh. Google plus has been able to achieve this feat just after launching the site to the public last week.

The numbers have been furnished by Paul Allen and they definitely have some credibility because earlier when he said that Google plus had a total of 10 million users, it was backed by Google CEO Larry page and a telephonic interview with investors two days later. Earlier this month the site only had 18 million users, but this is the first time that it experienced such massive growth.

Google plus has improved the IOS app

Facebook has definitely been in the spotlight over the last couple of weeks but Google plus has not been sitting idly – it has improved the IOS app. The IOS app would now support “hangouts”, which is going to allow users to chat with each other using secondary cameras on the iPhone 4 and iPod touch.

By using this application you can now attach photographs to chat threads also. You can now also include +1 comments, there is an improved +mentions support and there is also a map view for all those places you’ve been in.

It seems that Google plus is not slow and steady rather it’s fast and steady. It has already had an additional 10 million viewers in just two days after opening up to the public and a base of 50 million users. By adding such value-added services, it’s definitely going to garner huge growth in the coming months.

Google plus sees a major influx in traffic after opening up to the public

Google plus was opened to the public last week and right after opening it received a whopping 15 million US visits. The site could only manage 1.1 million visits in the previous week and experienced a 13 fold gain after opening up to the public. Research suggests that there has been a 30% hike in the total number of users in just two days. Google plus now has a base of 43 million users.

Google plus decided to open the gates for the users after Facebook announced that it’s going to make several drastic changes to its website and has been able to secure the eighth position in the list of social networking websites from the 54 position the previous week. The data provided here does not include mobile data – including which might put Google plus ahead of MySpace in the list also!
