Social media not taking wind out of e-mail’s sails

An article by Mark Evans posted on theglobeandmail.com website.

This article discusses the fact that despite the increase in social media network use, email use has not declined.

The article states, "

The number of e-mail accounts worldwide is expected to increase to 3.8 billion by 2014 from 2.9 billion in 2010, according to Palo Alto, Calif.-based The Radicati Group.

If numbers tell the story, it is obvious the use of e-mail is growing rather than dropping."

As the article points out, "Don’t get me wrong: There is a place for other ways to communicate – whether via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, SMS, Blackberry BBM, Skype or other means.

But at the end of the day e-mail is still very much alive and well."
