[Air-l] email is 'out'

Just saw an interesting article that made me smile and look quite old. SK Teens: E-Mail Is For Old People Excerpts: For some schools, the correct answer is: set up a MySpace page. After all, there's nothing hipper for students than being "friends" with your college registrar or school principal. The intriguing thing about this method of reaching students is that it's most often not "instant" at all; students receive messages when they log in or they visit the school's MySpace pages - the equivalent of using e-mail and a Web portal. * Source: Teens: E-Mail Is For Old People, Nate Anderson, ars technica, 06/10/02 http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20061002-7877.html
