I think it is more likely that social network sites will incorporate e-mail clients that come preintegrated with calendars etc.
E-mail would be part of how different social networking sites interoperate.
E-mail is a patchwork of proven standards.
E-mail might vanish into the plumbing of the internet --- as ip addresses have and urls might --- but it will still be there.
If my company got rid of e-mail altogether and used Facebook instead, we'd lose customers.
Catchy titles grab attention, but they obscure meaning. I still don't know what you are predicting.
- epynonymous 16y agoi answered in another thread so didn't feel like repeating; but basically you'd need a phased approach to get off email, it wouldn't happen overnight. from day one at company x, you'd get an email address and social id, you'd have both mechanisms for communication. over time the benefits of a social app would most likely outweigh the benefits of email and a natural progression would occur, i.e. lots of companies will start to adopt it. i use email now only because it's a legacy standard though this is definitely decreasing in favor of social apps. this is analogous to television and internet. my prediction is that a social app will take over email as the primary internet communication method and you will start to see this manifest itself very soon, even inside of corporations.
