This is the second article I looked at, and suprise-suprise it's about Facebook! Sure everybody loves Facebook a little too much so why not! This article looks at how E-mail may be completely wiped out because of social networking site Facebook, and Similar ones like Twitter and Bebo.

Basically what Professor David Zeitlyn from University of Kent(ohhh Kent, Very Posh!!) is saying is that because social networking sites are easier and more accessible people will use them to contact people instead of sending an E-mail. Because Social Networks have IM features and features where you can comment your friend quickly and easily, nobody is going to bother spending more time writing and sending an E-mail.

It apparently took 20 Years for E-mail to become as popular as it is today, yet it could take just half that time for it to become non-existent! However a man by the name of Dan Grabham from TechRadar believes that E-mail won't be completely forgotten about, it will instead just be used for important purposes like sending important E-mails, or files to somebody.

Maybe it's just me, but I hardly EVER use E-mails. It's too slow and official for sending useless information to friends. I think that E-mail probably will be forgotten about except for important things because I'd rather have an employer or teacher or somebody not know my facebook, because Facebook is more for friends and socializing, rather than important stuff!

Not only is Facebook quicker at sending messages to people, it's more fun! When you're sending an E-mail to somebody, you can't Farm your crops on farmville, or do random questionairres or look at photographs. On Facebook you can do all this and much more which makes it more attractive for people to use!

In conclusion, See-ya later E-mails, Facebook Wins :)
