I don't consider this as "reading tea leaves":

Despite the bullish talk about levels of engagement on Google Plus, I continue to find it strange that Google won't tell us how many of the reported 40+ million users are active, daily users.

Frustrated at not getting a straight answer to that, I optimistically asked Gundotra if he would at least give me the percentage of active daily users to total. But he wouldn't be drawn into that question either.

So I asked: what kinds of things are people doing on Google Plus right now? Vic Gundotra pointed to photo sharing.

"Since we went to field trial on June 28," he remarked, "we've had 3.4 billion photos uploaded to Google Plus."

"I sincerely doubt the service will die in a "year, tops" with 40 million users"

Naive much? That translates to we have 40M rows in a database table, please be impressed and don't ask us for engagement.
