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)

[Lazybones]

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

[Mr. Analog]

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.
