Email or Social Networks - How do you Communicate?

How do you communicate with friends and family … do you send emails, or are you a part of the larger movement of folks who communicate almost exclusively through social networks?

 

Okay, so you may use both … but most likely one more than the other, depending on your age group.

 

We continue to see an increase in the use of social networking sites for communicating – according to the latest stats:

 

            ·         53% of those 18 to 24

            ·         42% of those 25 to 34

 

Why?  The most mentioned reasons are:

 

    ·         More Messages in Email Boxes Viewed as Irrelevant

    ·         Social Media Sites empower users to Interact with the brand on

            their terms

 

In a recent briefing with eMarketer … MySpace CEO and co-founder Chris DeWolfe shares that MySpace is a next generation portal – not simply a social network.

 

So whether you send emails … post personal pages … write a blog … or ask a simple question through Twitter … you are connecting and sharing. 

 

And with that deep thought … I wish you each a wonderful weekend!

 

Regards,
