An article by Mark Evans posted on theglobeandmail.com website.

This article discusses the fact that despite the increase in social media network use, email use has not declined.

The article states, "

The number of e-mail accounts worldwide is expected to increase to 3.8 billion by 2014 from 2.9 billion in 2010, according to Palo Alto, Calif.-based The Radicati Group.

If numbers tell the story, it is obvious the use of e-mail is growing rather than dropping."

As the article points out, "Don’t get me wrong: There is a place for other ways to communicate – whether via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, SMS, Blackberry BBM, Skype or other means.

But at the end of the day e-mail is still very much alive and well."
