You Can Reach Me Here, Here, Here….

It used to be that when someone wanted to contact you, they called or just dropped by.

When the Internet entered into the mainstream, e-mail was added as a way to quickly reach out to people.

And then online services and social media started to be embraced, which now means there are even more ways to touch base, including:

- Twitter
- Facebook
- LinkedIn
- Skype
- SMS
- GTalk

All of which means you need to log into all of these services to see if anyone is trying to reach you, or use some kind of ultra-messaging tool.

In some ways, it all makes you long for the days of yore when “contact me” meant less choices.

    Good post Mark. From a consumer and industry value perspective, this spells consolidation.
    Or is the fragmentation of our contact options a consequence of trying to catch up with value as it is created in a new economy of abundance of information?

    Leaning more towards a), but I'm biased to be a contrarian.
