I'm going to have to say no. What they do is add an extra level of interaction between users. (and the ability to link to your blog handily enough as well)

Has sms killed phone calls ?

Agree with Forbairt 100% on this.

Twitter for example - 160 chrs? not many people are saying very much in 160 chrs. But what they can do is say something short and point to a link. Very handy.

Twitter is twitter no more(ever since they halted SMS messaging). It's still useful though, and I think microblogging is enhancing blogs. The short and sweet messages can be put on twitter but for power bloggers, they can use the real blogs.

I've also voted no as its used as an extra tool rather than a replacement.
