Email Isn't Dead Yet

Wednesday, December 28, 2011 by Damon Richards
With all of the talk (and hype) of social media these days, many people are beginning to think that email has already run its course and is being replaced by other forms of electronic communication. While I'm not willing to commit to email's long term existence, I will say that it is alive and well as we end 2011. I don't count it out because there are 2.9 billion email accounts that sent 188 billion messages this year.

Before you go subtracting the ones that were spam, realize this: the spammers are figuring out how to send spam via text, IM, and Facebook and Twitter. They will go wherever we go.

Here's the data from Visible Gains. Decide for yourself.
