Why E-Mail No Longer Rules
The Wall Street Journal published an article on "the end of the e-mail era." Although e-mail continues to grow (at least I know my inbox is full every morning!), other services such as Facebook and Twitter continue to grow at a faster rate. Couple this with new services such as Google Wave (still in test phase) and e-mail seems, well, old. In fact, even three years ago The Chronicle of Higher Education declared: E-mail is for Old People. What do you think?


Comments

yeah

I agree that email is an old technology now.  There is so much spam with email, but filters have been getting better too.  But my email address is in no way private- anyone can get it.

I use facebook primarily to send messages to my college friends- but facebook messaging is a kind of email in a way. 

With twitter, I dislike how often "older posts are not available."
