Today, email is still used very heavily in business and personal communications and related applications. However, the additional convenience and immediacy of new technology (especially cell phones) combined with the networking potential of the newest social media Internet networks and applications have already begun to revolutionize business marketing communications (again), as exemplified by the Obama election team's effective use of Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter throughout the 2008 presidential campaign (Hempel, 2009: 93). either answering the phone or ignoring the caller).

More importantly, social networking sites now allow marketers and advertisers to follow users through virtual identities through their use of Facebook and Myspace even on remote computer terminals (Johnson, 2009: 35).

In all likelihood, the use of email for business marketing will continue to reduce its presence outside of maintaining communications with existing customer bases. Meanwhile, social network-based marketing already seems to be developing and becoming ubiquitous in its many business marketing applications even faster than email did a decade ago.
