I toyed with a tantalizing title to get you excited, but less is more sometimes.
It has happened. Facebook usage has exceeded email. A recent study found that people spend about 4.6 hours per week on Facebook compared with 4.3 hours on email. Why? Think of Facebook as being email on steroids and then shoved in the microwave. You get a bunch of information with images, links and conversations in a tiny package and you get it instantaneously.
Now overall, email is still king with 73% of people using it regularly as compared to 46% of people using Facebook.
Facebook is in your face with its messages while eMail is more like putting a post it note on a computer as you walk by and hope somebody sees it.
Facebook is a great for quick communication while email is great for persistent communication. Both have their place, but Facebook is rapidly surpassing email as the preferred method of communication.
