Is Twitter the end of Instant Messaging?

One of the things I’ve noticed since joining Twitter is that my instant messaging has gone WAY DOWN!

Does this spell the death of the instant messaging services?  Or has Twitter BECOME the new IM?

Prior to using Twitter throughout the day (Via tweetdeck), I would have several conversations going in either my AIM client or my [...]

With all the different types of social media out there on the interwebz these days, it begs the question of how much is too much?
