Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder, is the most followed in which Google has launched Google+ - putting it ahead of Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
The CEO of Facebook has more than 184,000 followers in the service, while the page is only half, to 95,000.
The service has grown rapidly in the two weeks since its launch, with one estimate saying that it has between 5 and 10 million members. In addition to Zuckerberg, Page and Brin, Google senior engineers are among the names more often.
But unlike Twitter, where celebrities and big names have used their visibility to interact directly with the audience, Zuckerberg has not posted a single comment about the service. Page, Google CEO and co-founder, the last published in late June. Sergey Brin, the other co-founder, is much more active, publishing photos of three or four times a day - although it says: "I think a lot of people are under the misimpression that I am posting photos of exotic places at a furious pace to Google+. Actually, I have had a bunch of albums public for some time on my picasaweb page. However, people only started to take note recently thanks to Google+ and when they comment on those photos they end up in the streams of people who have me in their circles."
At one point this week Zuckerberg increased their privacy settings so that you could not see who followed him - he was hiding and the names of those that followed - but relented then, according to social statistics, website Scraping the Google+ service to collect data on it.
With a clear way to measure growth or Google+ members, social statistics still the best way to keep track of evolution, although it is only tracking about 27,000 profiles. The show that the vast majority of Google users + - 87% - are men.
The estimate of between 5m and 10m users comes via Paul Allen, of genealogical business FamilyLink who called himself the "unofficial statistician" for Google+: he based his estimate on the predominance of unusual names compared to the US census.
Early mistakes with the service, making it difficult to register and upload the images have been removed. However, the service seems to have grown much faster than expected Google: at some point over the weekend the system ran out of disk space, which means that emails were sent registration and follower several times because there was no way to record that had been sent.
Educators believe that Google+ may have significant advantages over Twitter and Facebook in particular: "No friend of my students, because the ability to share is so clumsy on Facebook,"I don't friend my students, because the ability to share is so clunky on Facebook," Jeremy Littau, an assistant professor of journalism at Lehigh University, told the Chronicle of Higher Education. "This gives us ways to connect with people that we can't do on Facebook." He noted that the power of Google+ Hangout, which offers video chat conference: "I can hold chats several nights a week," Littau said the Chronicle.
Using Google+ "circles" to limit the groups and the fact that discussions are archived on Twitter does not offer great flexibility. Littau notes in a blogpost: "This tool will change education."
Google has also adjusted other service elements, including the ability to set privacy settings on their kind, and the prevention of re-distribution of seats in which the author does not want to be dealt.
