The initial Invite buzz created these numbers.

But how many people use it after all? Is this signalling that Google's engineers don't have a strategy in launching products?

They could have started solving a problem for a particular niche community.

I see another failing Wave.

According to this [1] - "Some 31 percent of Google+ users polled said they have already abandoned their accounts or not written any posts yet on the site"
