Google launched their own social network as a limited beta a week ago and named it Google + and personally, I love it.

One thing Google downplayed with the social network was friend numbers and followers, something really important on Twitter and less important on Facebook.

Google engineer, DeWitt Clinton, talked a bit about how he has seen the growth of Google + and how he is surprised by how fast things have evolved on the network, even within the limited test.

Here is a copy of what he wrote on his Google + Post:

Here is a screen shot of his numbers:

Mine, on my Google + account is no where near DeWitt’s, where I am only in about 1,300 circles. Yes, I am getting into the number game. But DeWitt has a point, Google + is really strong with the engagement.

Where do I find the most engagement? Honestly, mostly on Twitter, then my blog comments, then Google + and then Facebook. But Google + is a limited beta and I can see it growing and surpassing the other networks. It is just so easy to engagement and have a stream of conversation there. More so on Facebook, at least for me.

It is always nice to see Google’s view on their own products. So there you have it.
