More people are just saying 'No' to signing up for 'X' service, or migrating away from one service because of the fickle nature of the clan mind. I think, over time, you're going to find most folks settle down to 2-3 services, with IM and e-mail thrown in. Any more than that, and socnets become a job unto themselves. I have to say it's a bit of both for me – lack of “real world” opportunity, plus (relative) ease of the medium.
