It is silly to suggest that I email pictures of me and my kid at a playoff game to my friends. I mean, some would want to get that in their inbox and some wouldn’t. But lots look on facebook and interact.
This superior attitude towards a ubiquitous useful service doesn’t help anyone.
Sure, I could email to grandma and granpa. But I’m not about to do that to work friends or members of various groups I’m in. That’s spam.
Also…I’m pretty aware of email. Let’s not start getting into who’s cool and who’s been online longer. I’ve had an online presence since the 80s when I first was into the BBS scene.
