Google+ growth slowing down

Google+ entered with bang, no doubt. The social networking site, a direct competitor to the present juggernaut Facebook, got everyone (and their grandmother) curious, with the Internet witnessing once again the massive rush of threads with users asking (aka begging) for invites to get onto the site.
