A recent Nielsen report shows that blogs and social networking sites captured more user time than email.
For teens/tweens/millinials - what ever you want to call this group using email to communicate and stay in touch is soo old school. I asked one teen recently about how he used email to stay in touch with his friends and he said" why use email when i can use facebook?" for teens email is going the way of the watch, see a watch only does one thing, it just tells time. Why wear a watch when you can use your phone to tell the time and it also connect to the web and makes calls?
(lol, bff) instead of email!
