Re:Google’s Deal for Polar Shows It Has Not Given Up on Google+ by 27182818284 on Thursday September 11, 2014 @01:43PM (#8303952)
I have the feeling Google+ is widely used, just not publicly. My family uses it daily, but it is a private circle so you'd never see the traffic.

Additionally Google tends to head-shot products that aren't working (Wave, etc) so I'm inclined to believe they have private metrics that are promising.

My extended family does a weekly Google+ Hangout and we regularly share photos on G+. Again, it's all private, but it works great.
