I refuse to join either Facebook or Twitter for a host of reasons and the last thing I want to read in a business context (or otherwise) is someone's spontaneous and/or first impression. I think it's telling we now regard inadequately distilled snippets of thought as the default mode of communication If e-mail represents a full-bore erosion of formal writing (removal of case sensistivity, punctuation etc.) then social media like Facebook and Twitter are indeed the death knell.

Lots of people are not on Twitter, Facebook, etc., and you can't send attachments via any other method that beats email. For a writer, email is still the main way to contact editors and send in assignments, but I do use LinkedIn and Twitter to converse with and keep tabs on people in the business. Thanks for pointing out this article. I think saying email is dead is jumping the gun a bit.
