"Daily views" is a bad metric to measure this sort of thing and to me implies they don't have impressive <i>interaction</i> figures so they're picking the biggest number they have. The only thing that "daily views" proves is that some large sites have chosen to use it, but this is supposed to be about <i>user</i> adoption.
I think it's a good move that they are making +1's shareable. At first I thought I wouldn't want to be spammed by +1's, but if they aren't shared, then there isn't much point to them anyway, is there? And it might not be so bad. But are they going to make +1-ing a 2-click action, instead of one? I'm not sure what to think about that yet.
