In the wake of its impressive second quarter results, Google was eloquent about the early success of Google+, its high-profile social networking service. While announcing a 36 percent jump in quarterly profit, new CEO Larry Page said that more that 10 million people have joined Google+ since it launched a limited, invitation-only trial earlier this month. Page said that more than an billion items are shared and received through Google+ in a single day while the Google+1 button is being served 2.3 billion times a day.
Google also revealed that 550,000 phones a day are now activated on Android, with more than 135 million total Android device activations to date. Although Google’s core search engine advertising was the largest contributor to the growth in the latest quarter , Page stressed that the company's investments in its Android mobile-device software and the Chrome Web browser will "generate huge new businesses for Google in the long run, just like search."
