I remember reading something similar from a Korean kid 10 years ago, she said "email is for older people". I wonder if this kid uses email? The only time I see something Google+ related is occasional notifications on my gmail interface.


It's 50/50 that I even have my friends email addresses. Facebook messaging covers 99% of the need.


But, don't you need an email address to sign up to these sites in the first place?


Some allow you to register with an SMS token and some with an FB account.


Yes, but that doesn't mean one has shared that email address with one's friends or vice versa.

People have email addresses to sign up. Once signed up, the social connections are made on the platform.
