Google revealed the company's Google+ service now has 40 million users. Quite a lot for a service that's been online for just four months, but it's unknown how many users actively use Google's social networking site.

After nearly four months, Google+ now has 40 million users, says Google CEO Larry Page.

In a statement released by Google about its third quarter financials, Page mentions G+ right off the bat:

We had a great quarter. Revenue was up 33% year on year and our quarterly revenue was just short of $10 billion. Google+ is now open to everyone and we just passed the 40 million user mark. People are flocking into Google+ at an incredible rate and we are just getting started!
