While I could also agree he has some points, between the five email accounts in this computer, and maybe 300 messages/day, I could say I receive about 3 to 10 that are spam. And most of that because one of the addresses has been in every kind of form.
Also, how can one send a spreadsheet for another to look through text message or twitter ? And the screenshot for an error message ? ----- Original Message ----- From: David Lum To: NT System Admin Issues Sent: Friday, December 18, 2009 1:44 PM Subject: On another front - social networking killing e-mail... http://blog.pgp.com/index.php/2009/12/will-facebook-kill-email/ I laughed "hahah no way" at the title, but then I read this line: "I have to admit I didn't see his point until I read a headline recently indicating that 92% of global email traffic is now spam. The fact that most email is junk isn't news as the percent of measured spam has been hovering around 90% for quite some time. The fact that spam has dominated the email landscape for so long is helping to drive some interesting user behaviors, however. We're starting to see reports that some users (mostly young) are giving up email entirely in favor of social media. While I think many email users will have problems doing this, it makes a certain amount of sense.." At my IT Garage clients SPAM hovers around 95-96% and if you think about it, using social networking messaging is very much like having a "deny all except specifically whitelisted senders".
