I don't know about you but I have many family members who have practically given up on using email for important announcements like wedding, birth etc. People use Facebook for such communication needs because it is lot more convenient than email. Also, not sure if you noticed but Facebook messaging provides a "return receipt" feature by default. So you know if and when your message (email) is picked up. Try doing that with the free email accounts like gmail, hotmail etc.

"I don't know about you " I'm in the fortunate situation where people in my social circle still prefer phone and email to facebook and twitter :) "announcements like wedding, birth etc" I don't know about your social circles, but in mine those announcements demand in-person discussion or phone calls. Even email feel crass for announcing a birth. "Also, not sure if you noticed but Facebook messaging provides a "return receipt" feature" I've never used facebook messaging heh.
