[LINK] Google+'s Numbers Aren't as Impressive as Everyone Thinks - The Atlantic

And just because they jumped in to test the waters doesn't mean that
they're going to stick around. In fact, Experian Hitwise released
additional data that took a closer look at not the number of members
Google+ has, but the kind of traffic it is receiving. The takeaway:
Traffic peaked the week from July 5-12 and has since declined. For the
three-day stretch from July 12 to July 14, Google Plus had just 300,000
visits per day. For comparison, Google receives hundreds of millions of
search queries daily. Right now, Facebook and Twitter are receiving far
more traffic than Google+ ... but so, too, are CafeMom, myYearbook and,
yes, even MySpace. Which is why the comparisons are a little ridiculous.
