Depends on your level of involvment/interest. It's really hard to keep a focused discussion going on any of the places you name, and they are, by definition, evanescent. Forums provide archives of knowledge that can be searched. Social media and microblogging, not so much.
Of course, that's true but it isn't that interesting of an observation either.
There are lots of forums out there and I'm guessing somebody has studied this and come up with some interesting statistics.
It's like if I asked if people are driving fewer miles than they used to. It's true that some are and some are not, but that answer doesn't tell you much.
