Is email really going away?

Email is going the way of the dodo, according to Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg.

Only 11% of teens use email daily, preferring instead to use SMS messaging and social networking, Sandberg proclaimed at the Nielsen Consumer 360 conference in Las Vegas.

“E-mail – I can’t imagine life without it – is probably going away,” Sandberg said.

Of course her claim prefaced a talk about the wonders of Facebook, but it is an interesting topic to consider – especially if you’re building a social-based business.
