As I use email often, and I have 3 accounts and a BlackBerry, many of the Millennials whom grew up with MySpace and Facebook, think that email "is so dead". They think its more corporate and business like, and when they message on Facebook and MySpace, they consider that email. It's like their emailing system, even if the technology existed before them. And Facebook and MySpace is revolutionary, they bucked the trend of social applications and widgets that had never existed before. Some are stupid, and some are great, but these entities are making money where other older media entities are struggling.
