Mathew Patterson on - The Power of Email
New tools like twitter and instant messaging haven't supplanted email - in fact, they.re increasing its importance, argues community manager at Campaign Monitor. Blogging, Twitter, instant messaging, filesharing, MySpace, Facebook, RSS and SMS. What do these have in common? They're all things touted as 'the new email' by the ever-reliable 'people on the internet'.
With all these email replacements, you'd expect to see use of actual email starting to wind down, but in fact our inboxes are busier than ever. There are indeed some real changes happening. Tasks and activities for which email is often used are moving to more specialised tools. You probably share photos on Flicker or Facebook now, and Tweet or IM your friends more than you email them. But while web apps and sicial networks are taking on some of email's old roles, email isn't going to fade away any time soon. It's easy in our general nerd world to jump from technology to technology, adding more profiles to every new website and forgetting that most of the world isn't like us. I really like this article in the magazine DotNet and wanted to share the same with you friends to read more read in the Magazine as in full and great information is there waiting for you. Really its true you will like reading that all. I've been speaking recently to a lot of web companies about how they use email, and whether it still works for them. It's telling that even in this most forward-looking and technologically savvy of business, old-school email still retains an enormous influence.
