One of the great modern mysteries is how so many people legitimately believe that social media is “killing email” when nothing could be further from the truth. Social media and email are complementary tools, and it’s no accident that you can’t even SIGN UP for a social network without an email address.
There’s been a lot written about the folly of this “email is dead” conviction, and in fact I’ll soon be publishing here at Convince & Convert my recent presentation on the integration of Facebook and email.
But for now, please enjoy the thick and delicious irony of this interview of Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg who says “I check my email the first thing in the morning, and the last thing at night.”
