Top Ten Reasons to Prefer Social Media over Email

1. No more reply-all disasters - or rather, they happen in comment threads that you can choose to ignore.
2. No need to master the BCC function. (The what???)
3. No more forwards.
4. The ability to ignore/hide your friends/contacts who insist on posting links that they would have emailed to you in the age of mass forwarding.
5. No more spam.
6. The ability to remove yourself from someone's contact list without them knowing.
7. Keeping everyone updated in 150 characters or less (or by an optional link to a longer blog post that very few people will read).
8. No need to send one-line emails saying 'sounds great!' when you can click 'like' instead.
9. If you work in a place where NSFW is a life-saver, then your employer probably blocked access to Facebook 5 years ago.
10. No more inbox-clogging photo albums.

And all you had to give up was every personal detail and your privacy!
