Larry Page: Google+ Is ?Social Spine? With 170M Users, ?Healthy Growth? and ?Impressive Engagement?

During its Q1 earnings call today, Google's CEO Larry Page called Google+ the company's "social spine." With about 120 Google+ integrations across Google's portfolio, Page said, Google+ is now what connects all of Google's products. He also stressed that there are two aspects to Google+: the social spine (which, as Google had already announced earlier this week, currently has about 170 million users) and the social destination site. Google, for a while now, has refused to release any numbers about the actual number of people who regularly visit the Google+ homepage and how engaged they are. While quite a few pundits hoped that this would change with this call, Page did not announce any new numbers today.
