That bolsters the claim that Google+, despite its late start, is solidifying its position as the number 2 social network after Facebook. Sharing on both networks is increasing rapidly — only it's growing much faster on Google+. People who use Facebook are sharing 10 percent more each month, in aggregate, while Google+ shares (aka +1s) are growing by 19 percent per month, according to a recent estimate by Searchmetrics, which tracks social network data.
