Is twitter dead?

Or at least the twitter I joined when the idea was fresh and we didn't have a clue about social marketing. Remember when it was a quick way to update friends and find out what they were up to, like facebook without all the shit apps that came with it. There were times I could spend hours with messages flying back and forth, these days I struggle to get anyone to respond to a question or even comment on a fellow tweet. With the emergence of twitter apps like tweetdeck, ubersocial etc. everyone is busy twittering what they are doing without ever checking the timeline to see that perhaps someone cares enough about their tweets to respond.
