In E-Mail Software, the Medium Is the Mess | |

E-mail dominates the home computer. It's one of the key reasons people buy computers in the first place and a primary consumer of screen time after purchase. The "Homefront" survey of home PC use by San Francisco research firm Odyssey consistently reports that e-mail outranks Web browsing, word processing and even gaming. But while the volume of e-mail has kept growing -- along with the severity of such afflictions as "spam" and viruses -- the tools most people use for mail have barely evolved in the past two years. | ||

No IM is not replacing email. This goes back to this ridiculous fantasy people seem to have that you can either have one or another. These two technologies are so completely different from one another, that they complement one another rather than replace.
Has IM use replaced some use of email? Sure. But it's a very small percentage. I've been using Instant Messaging for 10 years now. I realize to most people it's still a new technology, but after you get over the newness you find that it can be rather annoying. |
