That is mind-blowing. 2 billion total users an immense volume in and of itself but 2 billion even semi active users is incredible

Google's profile counts -- Android, Gmail, Youtube, and G+, mostly, in about that order, topped 3 billion a while ago.

I have at least two Google accounts and a very old never-really-used Youtube account (from the days before it was a Google account), so it's very appropriate that you say "profile count" rather than "user count".

[dredmorbius]

I'm quite aware of that, but yes, that's a crucial distinction.

Point being that very large user account collections do exist.

[majani]

Only active users should be counted.

[dredmorbius]

An upstream comment menttioned total accounts.

I've some awareness of G+ active users.
