Last week ComScore reported that the average Google+ user only spent 3 minutes on the site in January. This was immediately met with comparisons to social media giant Facebook, whose users averaged almost 7 hours a month on their site.

Some things just don’t change. In fact, over the last ten years, those three companies have spent a combined $897 million on Super Bowl advertising alone.

Are people really that lazy that they can’t type an extra 12 letters? Most of the time, people end up having to explain what the acronym means, so it’s really not all that efficient.
