Disclaimer<\/strong>:\u00a0 My good friend Michael Sykora sent me the link to this article.\u00a0 Ironically, we are part of the younger generation, but he sent it through Yahoo Mail.\u00a0 But, I’ll tell you why later…keep reading.<\/p>\n

Yes, email is for old people!\u00a0 Why though?\u00a0 Not because its prehistoric (laugh), but rather times have changed.\u00a0 The new (younger) generations revert to other forms of communication in place of the rather old email apps.\u00a0 Some say the future of email can be found in MySpace and Facebook<\/a>, while others say its text message, but truth is it will always be changing.\u00a0 Today its text, tomorrow its MySpace, next month its Virtual IM.\u00a0 It’s difficult to keep up…but it shouldn’t be.<\/p>\n

Stop trying to catch up and instead figure out why things are changing so fast.\u00a0 I admit, I use email just for work too, and revert to text messaging instead.\u00a0 1000 text messages isn’t enough for me, I need unlimited texts.\u00a0 Why though? It’s because things today are FAST paced, I can’t take the time to open up my computer and send an email asking “what are we doing tonight?”\u00a0 A simple text is easier, faster, quicker, and more efficient.<\/p>\n

MySpace and Facebook take time too, but everyone is on it!\u00a0 Which means, I constantly get emails\/messages from each and a reply is just a click away.\u00a0 Plus they both have handy mobile alerts letting me know when someone has messaged me…does Yahoo?\u00a0 Not sure, if they do, they haven’t done a good job marketing it.\u00a0 Cell phones and social networking are key to today’s lifestyle, which brings me to my next point:\u00a0 stop creating one-offs, instead create something that links everything together!<\/p>\n

Here’s how you can keep up with us<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
