I would like to see a breakdown of what people do on g+. For example, using google talk to have a video conversation results in a g+ notification...

Clearly such a breakdown would be interesting. But in context you seem to be implying that a video call "doesn't count" as a Google+ usage. If you, say, take a Instagram photo or message someone using Facebook chat but don't look at the front page, are you "not using Facebook?". I'd expect Facebook would count you as a "user" for the day, no?
I'm not saying 100,000 is an unfair statistic, but what I meant to get at instead was growth through g+ versus inclusion through tack-on services (a totally valid and excellent way to bring users into your product :-) as I tend to agree with some of the other comments describing it as "the path of least resistance" for sharing content through google.
When google adds plus to video chat, is that tack on?

When fb adds video chat to your feed, us that tack on?

This time Vic specified that this is people accessing plus.google.com and mobile app. So I'm reasonably sure using gtalk on gmail wouldn't count.
