According to the latest comScore report, Google+ has already reached 25 Million users in less than a month of operation. Of course, this is actually in contrast to Google's own figures of 10 Million registered users, although their report is from July 14th, and would have grown since then. The discrepancy probably arises from the fact that comScore regards "overall unique traffic to the site, including those visitors who look at public posts but don’t necessarily have their own accounts." Of further interest is how some of the individual numbers breakdown:
Google+ had more than 6 million visitors from the U.S., its biggest market, followed by India with more than 3 million visitors through July 24.
Also of note is that the industry analysis VP at comScore, Andrew Lipsman, indicated that the growth in Google+ is so rapid that it isn't as stable as Facebook.
He points to Facebook’s original path of more managed user acquisition, and suggests that the site saw “the most stable growth” out of the social networking services.
Regardless, these numbers seem both impressive, and typical of Google's successes. Although there are a few enterprises that have yet to take off for Google, most of their projects tend to explode with phenomenal growth. As good of a product as Google+ is, it seems likely that we will see it around and competitive for some time to come
