According to Experian Hitwise, Google+’s total monthly US visits have grown 55% since November. 49 million visits were recorded in December 2011 — the biggest month to date.
But regardless of the actual numbers, Google+ is clearly hitting a growth spurt through the holidays. We’ll have to wait and see if the number of active users lowers as the gleam of their new Android devices wears off.

As you can see in the graph below, the service is experiencing exponential growth. This new data makes it seem even more likely that Google+ has already reached 62 million users, as we reported last week. TNW Editor, Drew Olanoff believes that Google isn’t officially sharing it’s numbers because it doesn’t need to impress investors or partners to keep pushing forward.

LikeHow much is this a function of the prominence of [me]+ on Google's nav bar vs. repeat usage? Is anyone aware of any #s on this?

LikeScott Krause Not sure, but if it literally counted a page view every time the bar is loaded, the numbers would be way higher.

LikeGoogle+ is at the crossroads of people network vs interest network. This will be very, very interesting to say the least. After just six months, they are not slowing down: on the contrary, they're picking up steam. I'm curious what Vic and his G+ team have up their sleeves to keep the newcomers inside and attract new people.

Actually, I like Google+ I'm only active on FB because so many colleagues and friends are here. But I've noticed more of them are checking out Google +!
Google + will only increase b/c of the FB timeline!
Hmm. Could be due to some people giving it a chance after the whole fb Timeline push. Btw, where's the graph?
Didnt.
Go, Google, go!
don't care. Google + is still a crap social network. It makes me cringe.
