That's a tricky question - maybe one google can help answer? There are a bunch of projects using webfinger, including status.net, ostatus in general, diaspora, unhosted, freedombox(?), and I'm sure others, but I have no idea how that translates into actual users or profiles.
Gmail, aol, and yahoo all put up webfinger endpoints, but there hasn't been much movement, I think due to the chicken and egg nature of adoption around decentralized tools. b.
