Bangalore: Google+ exposed to public on September 20, despite limited signup allowances Google's social network exploded in popularity. In July, the site notched its 25 millionth new account, prompting ComScore to declare it the fastest growing social network ever. It continued to add members, but it's still dwarfed by the user pools of established networks like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Facebook, the mother of all social networks, in September boasted over 800 million active accounts. LinkedIn way back in March 2011had accumulated 100 million users, and Twitter's recent figures numbered its user accounts at 100 million. Google+ has experienced impressive, unprecedented growth, but it still has many problems to address. Users' complaints about the site have been mounting since its launch. Here is a list of the biggest issues users have with Google's social network from age limitations to mobile app issues. Voice against 'Real Name' Policy

A group of vocal users raised voice against Google+'s "real name policy," which allows the network to suspend an account suspected of using a pseudonym, mononym, nickname, name that include symbols and some other typical names. According to Google+ Support page's description of the policy, "it's important to use your common name so the people you want to connect with can find you. This certainly is a problem for people like YouTube stars who are best known by pseudonyms they perform under, and for people who have legally changed their names to a mononym.
