Is email obsolete? It seems like such a funny thing to think of. At our office, it is the single most important communication method we have. Personally, my email is riddled with junk and newsletters that I sign up for, nothing of real consequence is corresponded via email.

Facebook is suggesting that we rethink this first form of electronic communications. In an announcement Monday, we all heard Mark Zuckerberg tote that Facebook will be a hub for all digital communications, potentially eliminating email altogether. This could be a reaction to the growing younger population, who find that text, IM and tweets is the preferred mode of communication. Their hope is that with their new platform, they will help to eliminate the spam that peppers everyone's inbox and instead sort messages via social interactions. Interesting concept... So we would sort of get away from how we currently filter our communications, hopefully for the better.

Facebook - always trying to improve the digital experience. Targeting their main users ( kids, really )  and trying to appeal to the older generation. Even the Queen has a Facebook page.
