Games on Google Plus get- Faster, Higher, Stronger

I am spending some time and some money on two games on Google Plus. One is Crime City at https://plus.google.com/games/865772480172 which I talk about in this post

http://www.decisionstats.com/google-plus-games-crime-city-or-fun-with-funzio-on-g/

and Global Warfare https://plus.google.com/games/216622099218 (which is similar to Evony of the bad ads fame, and I will write on that in another post)

But the total number of games at Google Plus is increasingly and quietly getting better. It seems there is a distinct preference for existing blockbuster games , from both Zynga and non Zynga sources Even though Google is an investor in Zynga, it clearly wants Google plus to avoid being so dependent on Zynga as Facebook clearly is.

Page Mathematics

I was looking at the site http://www.google.com/adplanner/static/top1000/index.html

and I saw this list (Below) and using a Google Doc at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en_US&hl=en_US&key=0AtYMMvghK2ytdE9ybmVQeUxMeXdjWlVKYzRlMkxjX0E&output=html.

I then decided to divide pageviews by users to check the maths

Facebook is AAAAAmazing! and the Russian social network is amazing too!

The maths is wrong! (maybe sampling, maybe virtual pageviews caused by friendstream refresh)

but the average of 1,136 page views per unique visitor per month means 36 page views /visitor a Day!

Contest : 2 free passes to Predictive Analytics World

I got some good news from the fine people at Predictive Analytics World.

you qualify for 2 free passes to the PAW NYC event October 16-20, 2011. I will be sending you a code to use for registration to receive these passes within the next couple of days.

If you cannot attend our PAW NYC event, please feel free to use these two free passes as a promotional tool within your blog.

Now I have been partnering with PAW for a long time, so it is nice to have free passes. I am grateful for their support of this blog. Therein lies my dilemma. I am in India, and a return ticket from NYC to India costs 1100$. Unless something drastic happens , I dont see myself with that kind of travel money.

Ergo.

I am offering two free passes to Predictive Analytics World . http://predictiveanalyticsworld.com/

All you need to do is – ahem- cough-

Follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/#!/0_h_r_1

AND

The 2 free passes are for any 2 days of the PAW NYC event. This free pass may not be used for Text Analytics World conference being held the same week. Please have your Contest winners use the Free Code: XXXXXXXX. This code will be good for two uses in registering.

Thats ‘it. Two free passes , and go for it if you are around NYC in October. NY is a lovely place and I am wearing my red FDNY T shirt as I am typing this.

The Best of Google Plus Week 3- Top 1/0

While the funny GIFs continue in week 3, I find more and more people using this to paste their blog articles- so another channel to create and spread content.

I am waiting for certain features-

Importing my Orkut data seamlessly into Google Plus
The Gaming Channel using Zynga- Open Social Games
Hangout to have screen sharing as well as screen recording (or export to Youtube features)
Better integration of Sparks based activity.
Also if existing Youtube comments/fan communities can utilize G+ accounts too

Anyways, after all that violence and double talk- the best content in Week 3 as per my Google + stream.

Special Mention-
