Email is not the only thing dying

gravestoneNot so long ago, blogs (through their association with RSS feeds) were touted by some as spelling the death of email. Now blogging finds its own death predicted. The executioners are allegedly the social networks and similar technologies.

As B.L.Ochman points out, such reports carry little credibility. But perhaps it's reassuring to note that email isn't alone when it comes to predictions of mortality.

In fact, a brief minute or three at Google reveals that the following are all apparently "dead."
  • Marketing
  • Mass marketing
  • Traditional marketing
  • Internet marketing
  • Advertising
  • Direct mail
  • SEO
  • Web analytics
  • Guerrilla marketing
  • Affiliate marketing
  • PR
  • The agency model
  • CRM
  • CPM
  • RSS
  • Web 2.0
  • Google
  • Yahoo
  • Microsoft
  • The Internet
Oh well.
