That's all "horse-stuff"...!

According to some recent research, for marketing purposes, email is "40 times more effective than Facebook and Twitter"...

So... from the looks of it, you shouldn't abandon email yet!

Have not checked all your links yet But I tend to agree, email might be SLOW and the response rate might be LOWER but, for an old-timer like myself (57), that is all I want to handle. Forget text messaging (No, I don't even text) and any other kind of gadget. Eventually, I will get around to my emails and when I do, you better be ready, lol,
