What happens in 60 seconds? How much is 60 seconds really; in real world or in Social Media time? Actually, it’s not that much. In 60 seconds you can send a text message to your mate, Tweet about the Oscars or post a clever comment on your Facebook Page. In real life you can count to 120, eat 6 bisquits or do 25 push ups.
But what happens when you, all of your mates, their friends, … and the rest of the world get things going?

I haven’t actually seen any user stats from Google Plus yet, but it should be somewhere in the middle of that Infographic. According to analyst Paul Allen Google Plus will have more than 400 million users by the end of 2012. There are over 600k members are signing up every day and Allen expects that number to rapidly increase as over 700,000 Android devices are bought every day.
