There is no question that Facebook has revolutionized the world of online communication. People can communicate on each other’s walls, through messages, or through Facebook Chat. Will this make Email Obsolete? Certainly Facebook has not become an accepted form of communication in the business world, but it is becoming more popular among peers. Facebook messaging, however has a sloppy, and hard to organize format. Also, Chat is done with randomness and isn’t always a valid option if the other person isn’t signed on. Finally, walls are very public and other people can see that. Still, it is much easier especially when people are constantly on their Facebook pages and check back often. In the end, Email will not be overtaken by Facebook in the business world unless Facebook drastically changed their messaging format. Even then it would be a difficult avenue to break in. But among friends, it seems that Facebook has already trumped Email. Friends no longer exchange emails, but  instead they simply look up the other person on Facebook.
