>Initially Google+ was Google's big foray into social networking and while it gained users it never grew to the size of a Facebook, Twitter or even MySpace. It actually surpassed Twitter (and MySpace) pretty quickly after launch in terms of DAUs and MAUs, and remained the #2 network (behind FB) for as long as they released stats for it. I wouldn't be surprised if it still were #2 -- but they haven't released updated MAU counts* for a year or two.

Also, since everyone always asks: their MAU counts separated "users" from "people posting in the G+ stream" -- the numbers above are for the latter.
