Since its launch a couple of weeks ago, Google+ has garnered more than 106,000 mentions in blogs, close to 30,000 news stories, and 1.9 million tweets. Some 85% of those combined mentions were positive. Those findings were published on Sysomos's blog on Thursday.

Now for the bad news. Google+'s mentions are nowhere near as prevalent as Facebook's and Twitter's. Each of those services gets more than twice as many mentions per day as Google+.

Sheldon Levine, community manager for Sysomos, says he was surprised at the findings. "From my perspective, it seemed like everyone was talking about Google+ a lot," says Levine. "But it could just seem that way inside the social media world."
