I’ve noticed more and more that people communicate with the message feature in facebook/friendster/myspace instead of email. Whatever happened to email? I personally think it’s more accessible. I don’t want to have to log in to some third-party service to see a message from someone. Am I already getting old and behind the times? I feel like I’m entrenched in my emails and unwilling to accept new technology.
Though honestly, how are facebook messages better than email? I may not see messages people send me via facebook/friendster/myspace for days, whereas email is delivered straight to my inbox. Instant gratification. Maybe the problem is that I just don’t sign into those things often enough. In that sense, I guess I am getting old that I don’t see the appeal of myspace to log in every five minutes and read my messages.
