Interesting post Rick. I still use e mail a lot i.e. sending and receiving 50-100 e mails most days (not including received spam.) Yes spam can be a problem; I have 2 filter systems in place to cope with it. I enjoy facebook for catching up with friends for which I have one profile and also my cemetery stuff which is on a separate profile. But, and it's a big but, personally I hate the fact that people (and yes it is mainly the younger element) live their lives through these sites. Twitter is a prime example of inane one liners - do I really need to know what someone has for a sandwich filling or what colour I pod cover they have? I think the worse thing I ever read was a woman who detailed her miscarriage with constant updates. An awful thing to happen but did she really need to publicise it? I am not on Twitter, yet I can read this with out being a member. Some people protect their tweets so they are private, most don't. I could easily know when someone's house is empty, where young girls are at any given moment................you get my drift. Who's to blame - Twitter for being so accessible and the in thing or the people who give too much of their private lives away? Anyway I digress, I don't communicate via facebook message much as I can't attach decent quality photos to it, spell check or any of the other useful things I use on my normal e mail without thinking. Many people I contact aren't even on facebook, they gave up after myspace. I don't even send e mail via my phone. As a personal and business tool I'll be sticking to it!
