Today, Google was extremely busy in launching Snapseed’s photo editor for Android, making it free for iOS, as well as showcasing its new Communities product for Google+.

In addition, the company has made numbers on how the social project is doing for the first time since this year’s Google I/O conference. Here’s what the company shared today:

More than 500 million people have upgraded, 235 million are active across Google (+1′ing apps in Google Play, hanging out in Gmail, writing reviews in Maps…), and 135 million are active in just the stream.

Numbers are tricky, for any service, specifically Google+. Why? Because a lot of the usage is private, among people who share things just with friends. People have tried to figure out numbers for a long time, based on “public” data. Again, there’s no way to know whether that’s accurate or not, so those of us who want the actual information wait for Google say…or not say.

Do any of these numbers make a difference if you’re already deadset in not using Google’s social service? Probably not. But what it shows is that the company is dedicated to pushing forward with its overall social strategy.
