For the past 4 years, I've worked for a marketing company in Toronto. This has provided me some invaluable insight into traditional marketing (which is not the same as advertising).

And to think that in 2007, we are witnessing success after success online. Companies like FaceBook turning down $1.6 billion dollars by refusing to be bought out. Google generating billions of dollars in advertising per year. Every year, more and more money is spent online, as people get over the fear of the technology and get on with the convenience of buying what they want for the best price available, all from the comfort of their living rooms.

So with all this going on, I've decided to launch Not Another Marketing Weblog - http://namw.wordpress.com/

NAMW will focus on all of the new types of marketing there are these days, most of which did not exists even 2 years ago. YouTube, FaceBook, MySpace, SecondLife, Blogs, Podcasts... And new technologies are being launched all the time, and we will cover those too.

I hope you check it out. My first post is on SecondLife, and perhaps you'd be surprised to learn I don't think much opportunity exists to market there. Go over to NAMW and let me know what you think.

Don't you think this is more true of only certain age demographics?

With respect to email specifcally, I think it's definitely true of the under-20 crowd. They use MySpace, Facebook, mobile texts, and Instant Messenger to chat with their friends - not email. But you know what? I find myself sending Facebook messages to friends and family when I want to talk to them. I rarely find anything of value in my InBox any more. 99% spam and/or communications from companies. I think whatever the younger generations are doing today, you and I will be doing in 2 years. Email is dead.
