Us old folks don't
Twitter/facebook/etc.
I use email, for anything, to keep up with my kids or my peers or to receive digital content such as this newsletter/magazines/advertisements/stuff I don't want to ever see (blocked). I resent contests that are only on Facebook, I won't join just to enter and not win anything more than I will by email. I have my work email. my hotmail account an ATT/Yahoo account (ISP) and a gmail account that is rarely ever looked at, I can't keep up with the other three, much less have something to look at on a fourth account. The gmail account was setup with my phone, but I rarely do email on the phone, and my hotmail account and probably my SBC account are aavialable there as well.. What one needs is a cross-funtional system where you can email someone's Facebook/Twitter/Linkedin/other account.
