wherez my email????


Gmail ---------Inbox(0)
Yahoomail!---Inbox(0)
Hotmail ---Inbox(0)
Thats how my mailbox looks.........hav i betrayed my inbox??......it isn't showing ny messages for me .....
Has email reached the end of digital road???when it comes to connecting people ,email,which one revolutionised the way the world kept in touch ,is losing out immediacy of Instant messaging(IM),sms and social networking sites like orkut,facebook etc....These sites hav been a hit as far the younger generation is concerned......just send a sms to ur fren asking him to come online,nd within seconds u'll find his status as online in gtalk ,orkut or yahoo....wat more 2dy one can even transfer files through the messenger......and facebook ,it keeps u updated on ur friends without having to actually converse with them on day to day basis....

My gmail inbox is full of spam.......and my yahoo is full of spam.so i hardy logon to them.....wat all do these days is logon only to hotmail.......and thanks for the project.....i get to see 1-2 mails in my inbox....
Does this spell doom for email,which has been accused of mudering snail email??Not necessary for one ,email is still the first choice for business communication.Yahoo gmail and rest of the gaints r not sleeping their way to extinction ,but r plannin to turn ur inboxes in to social network.......sounds great!!!
Email will not die;instead it will hold true to its ever evolving avataar and morph in to something bigger and better encompassing IM,video chatting,social networking.......who knows wat else.......

firstly, nicely written piece, (perhaps a little too informally structured for serious blogging) .... but yea, I completely agree! E-Mail has become a mere formality - a means to securing accounts with Youtube, Orkut, and the likes .... Heck! I haven't checked my mail for over a month now!
