Summary:

Lately social media has been taking over in the internet industry. Emails and Blogs are being left behind due to the increase of social network use and users. Texting and social media has an advantage in finding and communicating with your friends. Unfortunately, this was just a phase and email using will return to its normal rate or higher.

Relevance to class:

This article is related to the class because the social media such as Facebook or Twitter has played a huge role in the internet. Most people has accounts for one or the other. They are the website most used by users. Since this creates traffic online, what might other website want to do?

Important quote:

"I’m not sure which came first, the idea that social media is killing blogs or social media is killing email," is the quote I choose for my review. This quote tells me that one or the other, social media is making huge progress and. And its caused emails to be ignored.  According to Chris, he does not know which came first which I wish he would had research.
