But I'll then send them an email with more private, personal detail. I don't always trust that what I'm sending through social media has the privacy that I'd like. I just trust my email more than this new social media stuff!

I suggest that the younger the crowd, the less they rely on email and the more they rely on social media. I recently shut down my 15 year old daughter's email (because of inappropriate SPAM). When I suggested she open a new, SPAM-free email account, she responded by saying, "Nah. I'll just use Facebook, Texting and Twitter to connect." Admittedly, it was a datapoint of 1, but it might suggest a larger trend. Any other thoughts/suggestions from our readers? Best, Jamie Turner Hi, Laura.

But what do people prefer and does that change according to age and demographics? For example, I've worked on graduate recruitment campaigns and we thought the social site was the perferred location for conversations. Emails were more easily ignored. Any ideas?

Good point. It's funny, I had thought that email usage was going to drop, but your point and the point made by Ann Priuitt in the blog posting have made me see otherwise.

I have signed in on different social sites and from what I can see, when a I am notified about someone leaving a comment, message or someone is following me, they also send a notification on my registered email aside from the notification on the website itself. So I can say that using emails are not taken for granted. Joining on Social Sites doesn’t make us away from using our emails.
