Just how big is the growth at Google+? Compete calls it enormous.

It is now safe to say that Google+ is becoming an enormous success, with nearly half of the unique visitors of Twitter (40,411,065 unique visitors in December). With a steep upward trend and knowledge of the power behind a Google product, expect continued growth from the unequaled search engine’s social platform known for ingenuity, creativity, and revolutionary product offerings

The real question left to ask is whether or not visitors are what defines success in social media/network. Does that mean that the key performance indicator (KPI) will be used to claim success? I truly believe it definitely is one of the many elements required, leaving Compete’s claims with a few holes.

What do you think is the best metric to say Google + is an enormous success? Comment below – I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.
