Co-founder of Facebook, Justin Moskovitz, declared a couple of days ago that
email is about to die.
Mark Zuckerberg also declared (in 2011) that
email was dead.
The Wall Street Journal declared (in 2009) that
"email's reign is over". But...
That's all "horse-stuff"...!
According to some recent research, for marketing purposes,
email is "40 times more effective than Facebook and Twitter"...
So... from the looks of it, you shouldn't abandon email yet!
Best wishes,
