Facebook Messenger will eclipse email. Social network is the perfect spam filter.
- allegory 12y agoLike AIM, Trillian, IRC did? Wrong use case...
- mkal_tsr 12y agoBut it is centralized and closed. It will not eclipse email for anything serious and long-term.
- creeble 12y agoWould you like to play Farmville?
- noir_lord 12y agoDoesn't solve the "This order is wrong I need to send email to support@somerandomcompany.org" problem though.
- pavel_lishin 12y agoI'm actually afraid that the internet is moving to this model, specifically with Facebook. How many times have you seen an ad that, instead of a URL, asks you to go to their Facebook page?
- dragonwriter 12y ago> I'm actually afraid that the internet is moving to this model, specifically with Facebook. How many times have you seen an ad that, instead of a URL, asks you to go to their Facebook page? No more often than I used to see the same thing with an AOL Keyword instead of a URL. I don't think the internet is "moving to this model" so much as it is a model which periodically emerges when a particular portal is dominant enough with the commercially-relevant audience, and fades as the dominance of that single portal.
