When would exponential growth of readership occur? In a phase when Web readership was growing exponentially (in the past now, it seems, and I do know what the term means); when the application is sufficiently new and different to distract people from what they were already doing online. "Critical mass" strikes me as a misplaced metaphor, really. Though it would do fine for social networking sites.
