Email Marketing will be obsolete soon?

Pretty shocking assertion http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/0..._n_615816.html

Is email becoming obsolete?

Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg seems to think so.

At Nielsen's Consumer 360 conference on Tuesday, Sandberg said that only 11% of teens use email daily.

"If you want to know what people like us will do tomorrow," she told a crowded conference hall, "you look at what teenagers are doing today." She then predicted that email is "probably going away." "I can't imagine life without it," she added.

This is big news for businesses and online advertisers because Facebook may connect consumers and advertisers more easily (and directly) than email.
