And I’m not the only one this has been happening to, and it’s not just articles about Google+. I added a list of comic book artists and children’s book illustrators who say that their sites are seeing the same incredible spikes in traffic as well. It’s happening to all of us, all at once.

This is clearly how the service was meant to work. Google is a company built on connecting people to content. Until now it has been a fairly anonymous process using algorithms and science to deliver you web content. But Google+ is about bringing the people into the content, because people’s social connections are far more valuable than algorithms. Curiosity and a culture of sharing information is what we’re creating together here.

Very interesting. Yes, this project could become far more influential than other social sites.
