To me it's dead because there are no people there. On LinkedIn are all the people I need for my career, on Facebook are the people I need for socializing. On G+ there is a handful of other techies who also got an early invite and wanted to try it out and have since neglected it, because all the interesting people are somewhere else.
I remember in University when I was studying Physics (around 1995), I used the very last glass plate we had for a double split experiment practicum paper I had to write. End of an era:-)
IMHO the problem is that Google doesn't listen enough to user feedback. For me and, according to the feedback voting system, for a lot of other users too, the main problem with Wave was that it's separate from the existing user accounts of GMail. Many people didn't like having to sign up and log in to yet another application. Also, you have to drag all your buddies over to the new system, half or more don't so they're not reachable there. So when you have something important to share, you just grab GMail, because you know everyone will be able to receive it...
The same problem exists with G+. Only some of my nerdy friends use it, and many of them already have stopped posting stuff. I really don't get why Google doesn't simply add the new functionality to GMail, like they did with GTalk for instance. Or Buzz for that matter...
Anyway, users who were asked for feedback on Wave massively voted for the GMail integration feature but it never happened. Why?
