20. Why?Synchronous vs Asynchronous Synchronous Communication: Phone, Voice, Instant Message, Face to Face Personal Immediate Collaborative Conversational Human Oriented Immediate, flowing, culture governed Mores important: “how are you?” “What’s new” Listen to any talk radio call-in show. Callers almost always start with, “how are you?” They don’t care and the host doesn’t care because it’s a waste of time. Yet it persists.
21. Why?Synchronous vs Asynchronous Asynchronous Communication: Email, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Discussion Forums, Google Wave Information Oriented Mediated indirectly personal time-shifted Collaborative Possibly Conversational Possibly Synchronous Mores much less important “how do I?” “What’s the answer” View any BBS or forum chat. Posters almost always start with, “how do I?” or “What is…” They want the information not a friend or someone to listen. They want to say their piece and leave more. Others who come after may find something useful.

Bigger than China, bigger than the populations of the USA and European Union combined.247 billion emails are sent each day. That's one email every 0.00000035 seconds.In the time it takes you to read this sentence, some 20 million emails entered cyberspace.Every second, the world's email users produce messages equivalent in size to over 16,000 copies of the Complete Works of Shakespeare (assuming a 30KB average email size).13.4 billion: the number of direct marketing dollars forecast to go on email in the US in 2009.$583 billion: the return from that investment if you use DMA figures on email marketing ROI.

Many E20 evangelists hype the immediacy of the technology. More information is available more quickly than before. But is E20 really synchronous communication? Is email really asynchronous? Is the question the right question to ask?
