Email is for Old People
"Email is for Old People"
I don't believe that but I hear it all the time in focus groups with students up to 30.

The Death of E-Mail
Teenagers are abandoning their Yahoo! and Hotmail accounts. Do the rest of us have to?
By Chad Lorenz, Slate
If it's true it would be interesting to discuss. We save money by sending holds and overdue notices by e-mail. Are we ready to try testing and IM and Facebook and more?
How about reference? We know e-mail reference is pretty unsatisfactory. Are we needing to put reference into IM, texting, Facebook and Meebo faster?
I will go through withdrawal gvien by blog and e-mail addiction. But then I am middle-aged as long as I live to 106.

You really should spellcheck your posts!

I'll wait for a decent blog software that includes spell check like MS Word. Until then I'll keep my more anal retentive tendencies in check or let my readers worry about it.

Given the amount of spam that is going around and the number of emails that go into the ozone (and aren't delivered), I'm ready to give up on email. Communicating through Facebook, etc., is easier and more fun.
