What is an email message? How can we use it to our benefit?

Email uses a standard format -- hosted via the World Wide Web. 
It is many software applications hosted on global servers.  
It is global, integrated and indispensable.

We need it to work a job with the people we know and don't know.
We send it to other email addresses and social networks.
We can use it to subscribe to and read online news.
Some of us use it to keep to-do lists and schedule our calendar.

Email is the biggest and best social network on the Web.
Other social networks like Patch must (by design) work with email.

Social networks include posts, comments, rude writers and ads.
Other social networks that I use include FallsNewsPress.com, Ohio.com and G+. 

In the recent past, we had global social networks glued to shared interests.
Now, we use local social networks. 

And, how does that help and hurt our physical community and virtual community of Cuyahoga Falls?

Please add your comments.  Thus, we can see what our 'collective genius' thinks.
