India Leads Asiaโ€™s Early Adopters on Google+

Google+ is gaining new users at a pretty insane rate, and Indian users are second only to the US in terms of being the keenest G+ early adopters.

From a sampling of 1 million people on the site, 5.88 percent are based in India. US users dominate the site for the time being, accounting for just over 49 percent.

MTV India was the first Indian brand site to spring into life on the site on June 30th.

However, with Google+ gaining new devotees so quickly, itโ€™s worth noting that Googleโ€™s buzzing SNS could hit 20 million users by the weekend โ€“ well, so says PC World โ€“ which makes the sampling increasingly small.

PC World also notes that G+ โ€œreportedly grew by 350 percent between July 4 and July 10 from 1.7 million users to 7.3 million.โ€ That effectively means 1 million new people per day on G+, allowing us to estimate that today there are 11 million global early adopters on the site.

The statistics come from Find People on Plus, which has a reasonably large sample of nearly 1 million G+ users from which to draw their stats.

At the moment, G+ early adopters tend to be male โ€“ on a 74:25 Male:Female ratio โ€“ and in rather geeky occupations, such as engineers, developers, designers and software engineers.
