When people say things like "I thought it would be interesting to unpack Vine’s success so far", what is "success" based on?

Is Vine a "success"/popular? How is this quantified?

It's popular the same way Quora is:

1. People like Techcrunch are talking about it.

2. (...)

3. Success!

I'd be curious to know what numerical value you attribute to success?

It's a relative term. Vine launched what, a week ago, and already all of us know about it.

That's a pretty loose definition of the term 'success'.

Everyone knowing about it is a big hurdle to get over towards real success, but it's not really success in itself.
