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!
