Email Still Relevant After All These Years

With new (emerging) technologies such as RSS, social network sites and instant messaging becoming more relevant and widely accepted, what exactly does that mean for where it all began? No, not Morse code… I’m talking about email, you knucklehead.

As far as I can tell, there’s room for all of it. I, along with everyone I know (besides my parents, because they still haven’t grasped the concept of “double-click”), uses myspace, instant messaging, RSS feeds (most notably the web-browser Flock) and yes, email. More information is being gobbled up with these other avenues, but it doesn’t necessarily mean the relevance of email is struggling. More people – now more than ever – are adopting the net, all of whom use email!

So lets put all of these “email is dead” rumors to rest. Email is here and it’s here to stay.
