A better statistic would be how many people are posting and USING those services...

My Linkedin use is hyper passive, and in Google+ I have a fair number of people but only one or two post and it is seldom..

Almost all activity in my social network sites is still on Twitter and Facebook.

I have to second Lazy here, especially watching G+ adoption, everyone rushed in and promptly stopped posting content.

I'm also curious about how usage might compare to linked features (i.e. twitter posts going to facebook etc)

Well the Games feature just became available on my Google+ account. Maybe that will draw in all those Facebook gamers.

The irony being that's what drove G+ to exist in the first place (well, from a user perspective anyway, a cleaner less crappy Facebook was supposed to be the draw)

I thought what drove Google+ to exist was that Google wanted in on the social networking space?

That's Google's drive no doubt, but the reason why so many people wanted "in" I think was to escape the clutter of FB.
