I hear people say this from time to time, but I think once you get to college and into the workforce you start to center your life around TXT and email.
I view each email address as an LTV of $10-50 and every phone number as 2x that. Owning emails and phone numbers is the great asset any startup can have -- but so many founders miss this!
Maybe. Over the past few years, we gained a few B2B clients who actually insist on using Whatsapp over email. We've resisted it somewhat (the final confirmation must still be sent over email), but if the trend continues, I'm not sure we'll be able to.
That's complete nonsense. Once people grow older (the one's who have the money for your product), email is the standard. No one sits on text messaging all day to communicate any real business.
I kinda view it as a feature that folks who lock themseles in as Facebook content sharecroppers don't engage in communication with the world outside their ML-insulated and monetized bubble. I'm not sure that constitutes "dying" though.
If you are doing unskilled labor, you know the kind eligible for overtime at all, you or your employees are text message and Facebook. And the Facebook part is a big maybe if they are also under 30 and not that impressionable.
Oh that have an address or two. Apple gave them one. A utility company gave them one. But its an afterthought
Huh. Good to know. Thanks =).. Ok. For the record, I am not under 30 (it's probably very obvious), and I was always a dork, even when I was under 30, way long ago in the stone age before cool cars were electric with touch screens (I'm pretty jealous of that, though).
I hear this from a lot of people online, but my group, which isn't majority techies may prefer FB for sharing photots, but any planning or broadcasts announcements are always via email.
