Britney Spears is almost single-handedly keeping Google+ alive.
The Atlantic Wire are reporting that figures released yesterday show Britney finally surÂpassÂing Google CEO Larry Page as the most followed, or 'circled', person on the burÂgeonÂing social media thingy, with 739,321 'friends'.
Despite referring to Britney as "not necesÂsarÂily the hippest diva on the block" (clearly they're forÂgetÂting about the Sketchers four-wheeler rollerÂskates), the article highÂlights the importÂance for Google of getting celebritÂies on board.
US President Barack Obama has also just signed up, but currently has only 61 followers, which frankly is a bit shit.
