Google’s Management Strives for Irony with Google+
October 12, 2011
Google CEO Larry Page and other top execs don’t seem that invested in Google+. No, I didn’t add them to my circle to see their lack of activity–I don’t have one. This great blog entry from the understatement broke down their usage in the form of a good old pie chart.
It turns out that only 3 of the 12 people listed on the Google Management Team page have ever made public posts on the site, which has been up and running for 3 months now.
The entry sums up some more of the stats they found in their research:
In total, of the 18 most senior people charged with overseeing Google, 11 have either not joined or have never made a single public post, and 5 have barely used it at all. Only Senior VP of Social / head of Google+ Vic Gundotra and SVP of Chrome Sundar Pichai have made any effort to seriously adopt Google+.
This lack of internal usage may be indicative of the site’s popularity. Usually if there’s a great product out there the employees, let alone the higher-ups, want to use it. This data collection does make me wonder how many Google employees overall are on Google+.
