#2It's a bit easier when you already have a user base of billions.
Edit: So I disagree with the article entirely, it's not interesting at all.

Agreed. While I really want Google+ to succeed, this means absolutely nothing. Google could come out with something silly, say an Interactive Sandwich Maker (where did that come from??), and it would probably get 10 million users within a few weeks.

What do you disagree with? The article hardly makes a point, just says that the graph is cool (their opinion), but unfair (obvious).
I'd like to see MySpace in the graph, it of course took them much longer to reach 10 million users.

#5Also interesting to compare these timespans to other networks, like telephone and fax. Not sure how accurate these figures are, but for a ballpark: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/kaap/fig3.gif

Agreed, that having a huge user base of another product helps.
But did Google Wave or Buzz take off that fast? I don't think Wave ever probably got to that many users.

Agreed.
Also, if it's growing so fast why does it still feel like a graveyard?!

#8Instead of hockey stick growth, would this be like light pole growth? ;)

#9I think I'd feel more comfortable with this if the title read:
"Graph: How long it took Facebook, Twitter and Google+ to reach 10 million signups"

While it means nothing with regards to the ultimate success of the platform, it is much better uptake than wave or buzz. Will be interesting to see if people find different use for it than FB/Twitter. I don't see it yet, but if they get the groups angle right could mirror how real life sharing works to some degree.
