Slate’s Chad Lorenz has brought up an interesting insight: Is email dying?

It seems that us young people are foregoing email for other messaging mediums like IM, Twitter, and Facebook messages. Forget old fashioned email party invites: It’s a Evites, Facebook or Google event invites. But maybe that’s slow. You might as well RSVP by IM!

Personally, I find fewer people are quickly responding to email. Now it’s instant responses that are expected. Texts or IMs. Goodbye Yahoo and Hotmail account. At least Gmail has a chat feature … and I tend to use that more than typing an old fashioned electronic mail.
