An analyst from a respected research shop, said a few days ago that google+ is driven by 4 points

1. Android- google+ has an icon on almost all new android phones, so people just need to sign into google and check it out
2. Gmail- when you sign up for a gmail account, a google+ profile is automatically created
3. Google search- when you are signed into google and then use the search function, google+ threads are pulled up as part of the search results, so a percentage of people click on it and get to take a look see of google+
4. YouTube- you can link your YouTube channel to your google+ profile, YouTube is kind of like a social media service anyway and therefore more of its users will be social media users than a random sample.
