Are you using Google+ (also known as Google Plus) now? If no, it means that you are outdated.

According to the latest statistics from Global Web Index, Google+ overtakes Twitter as the second largest social network in terms of active users. 

The report estimates that Facebook has 693 million users in December 2012 while Google+ has 343 million users at second place. Surprisingly, Youtube and Twitter are sharing the third position that isn't far behind from Google+.

There is obviously overlap between the Google+ and Youtube in terms of users since both are from the Google. So it is impossible to add up the users of Google+ and Youtube and say that the Google only 70 million active users behind Facebook. But if all Youtube users become active Google+ users, it would likely improve the amount of users. 

After Twitter and Youtube, Chinese social networks that dominate the rest of the 5th spots. Qzone, Sina Weibo, Tencent, Youku and Tudou are from China before Linkedin completes the top 10 list.

LG Nexus 4 Demand Is Ten Times Higher Than Expected, It Really Surprised Google

(GSM Insider) - LG Nexus 4 Demand Is Ten Times Higher Than Expected, It Really Surprised Google.

The demand of LG Nexus 4 is high and no longer in doubt that it suffers shortage. LG Nexus 4 sold out many times in many countries in the past. Until recently, that it only has stock.

Who to blame on the Nexus 4 disaster? LG or Google? LG France head has an answer for your question.

“Google has presented forecasts calculated according to their previous sales history of Nexus, but they have been less demand. Current deliveries of LG Google correspond to what had been pre-ordered on Google Play. We continue to deliver regularly. But it is lean. This is why the Nexus 4 is always shown as exhausted and the potential buyers feel they can not buy it,” LG France head Cathy Robin explained.

Perhaps both parties should responsible for the issues regarding the LG Nexus 4. Google expected the demand of LG Nexus 4 is lower but the demand is ultra high. On the other hand, LG seems like does not have the capability to produce handset in large amount. It is hard to say who is responsible. As a geek, I just hope that Google and LG continue to produce high quality devices in the future.

The Motorola X Phone will feature a whole new user interface that was fully developed Google and different from previous Motorola devices. As Motorola only focusing on high end market under the supervision of Google. 

At the Google I/O, it remains unknown whether the next Android is version 5.0 or 4.3. Previously, there was Android 2.3 Gingerbread so we cannot rule out the Android 4.3. But every remains mystery until the day when Google announce it. We will keep updating on the rumours regarding this X Phone.
