By people using it. Why do people use it? Because their friends and other people/companies/products they're interested in are there. So in my opinion we should be where people are. People most definitely are on G+, whether you are or not. Let's look at an example. Matthew Inman who runs the insanely popular 'The Oatmeal' web site/comic which appeals to 'normal' people, not just geeks has this to say:- <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/100193529331792590881/posts/1TeRkifBeZc">https://plus.google.com/u/0/100193529331792590881/posts/1TeRkifBeZc</a> He took ~1 year to get ~17K followers on tumblr. He took ~2 years to get ~209K followers on twitter. He took ~1 month to get ~190K followers on Google plus. That was back on October 15th. Now he has over 400K followers on Google. More in ~3 months than it took 2 _years_ on twitter. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/100193529331792590881/">https://plus.google.com/u/0/100193529331792590881/</a> Google+ is mainstream.
