#2Not bad for first 2 weeks. If the growth rate continues, it should get 100 million users by the end of the year, or maybe in just a few short months.

#3The crazy thing about Google+ is that ordinary people are already actually using it. I have a ton of non-tech savvy friends on it already, and people are making posts that get 5-10 replies. This isn't just "yet another social networking site". I think Google finally managed to pull it off this time, and if they ride the wave of positive sentiment they've gained as a result of Android and other successful ventures as of late, they'll probably be able to get people to trust them with their data much more than Facebook ever could.

Yep, If that growth rate continues, they should have 100 billion users in the end of 2012. Oh, wait ...

#5I think one of the main reasons why Google+ is doing so well is that they have taken time to produce a really well designed user interface. Facebook's UI is really poor in comparison. As a user, interaction should come natural and with Google+ it does. This is highlighted by positive interaction from 'non-techy' users. It is actually a pleasure to use. I could happily create and delete circles all day long :)

Come 2012... "Google responsible for sharp increase in population"...

I consider myself as tech-savvy, and although I have a G+ account, I hardly use it, and none of my friends used it as well.
I don't really know what to do with that G+ account. To share my news? I can do it better with facebook, with far more likes than the total number of my friends in G+.

(There's a menu in the top right of posts (under an icon that looks like a circle with an down arrow) that has a "Link to this post" option. Saves having to click the "Expand this post »" link.)

#9The fact that random peoples' posts on Google+ show up as 'google.com' here and elsewhere is not good for Google's ownership of its messaging. On the other hand, their use of the blogspot.com domain for official news suggests they don't care, but on the other other hand, what is 'googleusercontent.com' if not a separation of what's Google's from what's everyone elses?

Tech-savvy != early adopter. It's true that tech-savvy people are usually early adopters, too, but it's not always the case. For example, I'm also tech-savvy and I have a very good sense of when a technology has huge potential - and I felt that about Twitter in its very early days, because I knew it is going to be big. I even made an account. But I've never really used it, mostly because I didn't really get what it's for and how I should use it. Similar story with Facebook. But I've never really liked the product, either, so I used it, but mostly by forcing myself to use it.
On the other hand, I'm an early adopter of Google+, and so far I love using it. I suppose its purpose is similar to Facebook and Twitter, so you can use it in a similar way, but like I said, I just don't like those products. Google+ is much better designed and easier to use, even for non-techies.
