After early-adopters, regular people will join only if their friends are already there.
Any user metric going upwards says "look, it's not a ghost town anymore" and drives future adoption.

And even they believe what Google says, they don't have any compelling reason to switch from Facebook until their friends actually do switch. What I mean is that even assuming that people believe google's statement of "it's not a ghost town anymore", they are probably not going to move until it actually stops being a ghost town.
