As part of a study, Microsoft released an infographic displaying the evolution of email. Email is nearly 50 years old (yep, it was introduced in 1965). It was first introduced at MIT. Though this infographic is Microsoft and Outlook related, it is clearly explains the historical milestones of email, which includes the introduction of HTML Emails (Late 1990s), the introduction of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol – SMTP (1982) and even the release of MS Outlook for MS-DOS. Not to mention, during early 1990s, Email spam started to grow.
Even Social Networks are popular, Email is still popular for communicating. Do you think this can be replaced? Share your opinions on comments below.
Just stepped in and found this infographic very useful. Good job. Keep Going.
Do check out another Infographic related to the Evolution of Email, which contains some interesting facts as well : http://omgeureka.blogspot.com/2011/02/evolution-of-emails-infographic.html
Good infographic, although David respectfully disagrees. These days, who can live without checking their email account at least twice a day? 🙂
Facebook Messages was close to replace Emails, but it didn't. I love mails, nothing is so comfortable!
I'm going to have to respectfully disagree.
This infographic is not very good. They completely gloss over the importance of services like Hotmail and Gmail. Check out my lastest blog post about this infographic entitled "Worst. Infographic. Ever."

Oops, I partially agree David. They could have highlighted some more. Liked your blog post. 🙂
Legandry infographic dude 🙂 I save this 😀 this is really very informatic 😀
Gmail killed Yahoo and Hotmail. And facebook well that won't be so popular than them, I don't think anyone could possibly outsource gmail.
Excellent informative inforgraphics. Love it. Good job Pradeep 🙂
