Am I crazy to think of no email?
I just read that email is outdated among the generation between 13 to 24.
I find it hard to believe, but consider the alternatives, Skype, sms, text messaging , ICQ and AIM
Is this a good or a bad thing ?
I get over 200 email messages a day of which 75 % is spam, so anything that helps in this respect cannot be considered detrimental.
I hate spam.
I see the use and deployment of email undergoing some change in the future.
What remains surprising is that nothing has been done about all the spam that costs so much in lost productivity, in fact spam has increased 45% in the last 2 -3 years. Or could it be that some one is still making money from it. hmm...?
So now what is the future of email marketing if email goes into the thrash bin.
When the 13 - 24 yr olds becom 23 -34 yr old and no longer use email?
Other methods can be adapted.
Should there be a shift to marketing via Skpye and SMS advertisemsents ?
If I am a paid subscriber to a service, such as telephone, should it be my choice as to what messages to recieve?
I know that there are companies that already are or poised market over mobile phones and sms
so I do hope that email spam does not become cell phone spam or are we doomed?
To advertise spam free and earn some serious lifetime commissions.
How is marketing handled at MySpace, Facebook and Youtube?
It may be harder to spam at social networking sites and the article claims that SMS and texting are more immediate and intimate than email.
One service that I think will bloom in the very near future is RSS which puts the power back in my hands.
Without going into technical details, stands for Real Simple Syndication.
I pick up Syndicated feeds that I choose to subscribe to, much like tuning into a radio or tv Program at my own discretion. The spammers may eventually find their way into RSS , but we are now free to choose.
What's your take?
How should spam be handled and is email dead ?

This may change the game as we know it
There are perhaps billions of web pages, at last count, I read that Google indexes 2 billion pages.
I just wondererd how long it would take to visit every page on the web?
Impossible , perhaps.
Perhaps the technology to make visting multiple pages at once, can help. I heard of someone having 75 windows open simultaneously.
The point of my ramble is that there are far tooo many pages for anyone to stand out effectively.
There may be several strategies and techniques to create visitors, or impressions, eyeballs.
Marketers use the terms in driving traffic
The term Viral comes to mind, Buzz marketing is another.
Gooogle's algorithm allows your site be moved to higher position in its respective categories, based on keywords.
However, this situation is perhaps too fluid and dynamic , infact , what can be in top position can be supplanted in seconds.
Nothing lasts forever, seasons change and so does every situation.
The challenge now facing website owners is how to get your site noticed.
Build it and they will come, no longer applies here.
At this moment, the most visted site is MySpace, it will not stay that way, or should it?
There will now be several attempts at copying the manner in which MySpace got to be No 1.
Some may work for a while, other will certainly crash and burn.
I recently came across something that suggests we are perhaps entering into a new era in site promotion.
Stick with me for a moment.
Look at the internet as the ocean, wide and vast, consider websites as creatures that live in the sea, billions of creatures, analagous to billions of websites. Is there a king of the sea? king of fishes? king of creatures?
It might not be possible for anyone site to be category killer for any long extended period.
update...
As should be expected, what promised to be new technology turned out to be fraudulent, so the books are closed on this one.
The recent phenom is social networking and bloggging invokes a new era, I now wonder where this phenom is headed or will it last, how can this phenom be coupled with ecommerce? or should it..
A rather distressing comment that I read is that 95 % of the websites on the web are getting very little if next to no traffic, yet there are miilions of new pages everyday.
Why should the effort be expended to create blogs and new sites if they continue to be lost in the ocean?
Are we just wasting our time?
Too many questions, enough of my ramble for now...
