Google's new social-networking service drew about 25 million visitors in less than a month, outpacing Facebook and MySpace in their early days, according to market researcher ComScore.
The Google+ service had 6.44 million visitors in the US, its biggest market, up to July 24, said Andrew Lipsman, ComScore's vice-president for industry analysis, on a call hosted by Lou Kerner, an analyst at Wedbush Securities. That was followed by India, with 3.62 million, ComScore said. The figures don't include mobile usage.
Google+, started in late June, is the company's latest effort to compete in social networking with Facebook, which has more than 750 million users.
Google+, which lets people connect with and manage groups of friends, added about 5 million visitors in less than a week to reach about 25 million, according to ComScore.
