I find myself using emails a lot lesser than before.  Currently, I use instant messenging more often than emails probably due to the faster response time compared to emails.  This made me think, is instant messenging better than email?  Perhaps not.  Both have their advantages and disadvantages.  Email is still better for longer and more messages while IM rules when it comes to discussions and online meetings.  Email is also better if the person you want to talk to is not online but IM on the other hand is better in quickly alerting a buddy.

Anyway, I don’t see myself getting rid of e-mail anytime soon.
