My question is what happened the week of September 18th? That was when Google+ went from flatlining to a huge jump in growth, then followup growth. Anybody know? My guess is something to do with android pushing folks to sign up, or maybe them pushing it through gmail or google logins. Something changed and they restarted the growth curve with a big spike.



I think the spike you are seeing correlates to the transition from a "field trial" (invite-only) product, to a public product.

This is the blog post announcing open signups and it is dated September 20th: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/google-92-93-94-95-96...
