PanARMENIAN.Net - Google CEO Larry Page at the company's second-quarter earnings call confirmed that now Google+ reached 10 million users.

"I'm super excited about the amazing response to Google+ which lets you share just like in real life," Larry Page said in a statement ahead of the call.

Page noted that the service remains in a "field trial" mode, and with "a lot of barriers" to use it right now, but that the company is continuing to expand how many have access to it. Page referred to the 10 million benchmark as "a great achievement" for the team that worked on the product.

Beyond user numbers, Larry Page said that Google+ users share and receive 1 billion items each day and hit +1 button 2.3 billion times per day.

"We want to make products that everybody uses twice a day, like their toothbrush," Larry Page said during the earnings call.

Larry Page is currently the second most followed user on the new service according to Socialstastics.com.

Google launched Google+ late last month not even in beta, letting in only a handful of users, who could later invite their friends and family.
