I’ve been on FaceBook tonight and I’m still having a hard time with the busy interface and the 10 thousand applications you can add. There was an article in VisibilityMagazine.com about phishing applications, so be careful in the FaceBook world my friends.

When it comes to music, I live on MySpace and since I love music so much, it’s natural that my preferred social media hang out has been MySapce. My friend Jeff Hinkin from the Jeff Hinkin Band has never been an email kinda-guy. But since MySpace arrived, the guy is available regularly.

Are social media applications going to replace web-based email? Let’s look at the cell phone…. How many people in the U.S. have stopped having a home phone, even with digital phones? Tons, I don’t have the statistic, but 90% of statistics are made up (just kidding). How many people have more than one email account? I don’t know that statistic either, but simply by logic, who wants to configure 4 emails to go to one email box when all their friends are live and available to MySpace or FaceBook? In the social internet space, it just seems easier to connect with people using these social media applications. The alternative seems more painful; filtering through 400 SPAM emails.

I don’t really want email notifications, it’s just more SPAM in my email. For crying-out-loud, my email address is on a black list because people are steeling my email address as their email display! It’s kinda freaky when you get email from yourself and its marked SPAM.

I don’t think that social media applications will replace web-based email, because business is done through the web, but will they all integrate – yes they do now, but will it be easier, God – let’s hope!
