The drastic increasing occurred in December, commencing from January 1 to 27 were recorded from 50 million to 62 million users, which means nearly a quarter of the total in that month.

Allen explained this is possible because of the holiday season arrives, advertisements from various media, the discussion of the various forums and by word of mouth, or a combination of all. "After all it is undeniable that it has increased dramatically in recent weeks," Allen said.

If this condition can be maintained, it could be in 2012, Google+ users will reach 100 million users in February 2012.
