Watching Twitter tonight has taught me one thing, Phillies fans are a bunch of whiny dicks. But it's ok, every tank needs a bottom feeder.

And I thought I wanted to hug Johan last week. I think I'm officially in love.

The subject of this post is a bit misleading. Young people are, without a doubt, using social media and mobile phones more for connecting to their friends, but email is still the go-to app for business and private communication. More importantly, email continues to dominate ROI with modest estimates at $47 per dollar spent. It is also easy to track.
Also, the stats for email users worldwide is completely off. "More people overall (301.5 million) now actively use sites like Facebook and Twitter than do e-mail services (276.9 million)"
In 2007, there were over 727 million business email users alone worldwide, and Ferris Research predicts that the number will grow to just under one billion by 2010.

Generation Y Email?

Social networking and MMS communication are definitely the go-to apps for many in social circles. But for business and private communication, email is still 'the killer app'.
But sure, email has been pronounced 'dead' many times. Not too long ago, when RSS was touted as it's replacement. Email is dead. Long live email.
