I also don't buy into the whole "Twitter is dead" movement. Twitter is rocketing towards mass abandonment, at which point it WILL be dead, but it hasn't gotten there yet.

Oh, and I knew that one of my friends had deleted his/her Twitter account. Turns out it was Andy C. There may be one other.

Once Twitter gets its technical act together, it will grow, since it is much easier to use than FriendFeed. I say this despite my personal experience - visiting Twitter rarely because of downtime frustrations. Incidentally, I found out about this post via FriendFeed. Louis Gray shared it.

With ya, 100%. I started using Twitter over a year ago. When Jaiku was bought by Google, I thought, "Maybe this is better." but even with Google's Corporate backing, it's still lacking. Pownce, same thing. Better in some ways, worse in others. Now, even Plurk is begging for attention, but as you said, it all comes down to the network. Proof to your point, I haven't even touched FriendFeed, yet continue to use Twitter and Facebook daily despite any downtimes or lost features.
