Will you blog it somewhere? @Jane — I’d be interested to hear the results of your experiment. Will you blog it somewhere?

The chart doesn't really show much of a dip in email use, rather it may be of a short term blip as people experiment with social networking. I believe that as they discover the limitations of social networking (aka the signal to noise ratio is consierably higher) and are inundated with advertising, games and pointless self-promotional efforts by those networks, that email, im and text messaging will be reinvigorated.

Sure, the very last datapoint shows a bit of a decline, but statistically, you need more data points beyond the last one to see if there is a trend forming or not.

I'm taking a week off of email - I'll use audio/video to respond to messages as well as social network messaging. No Ims either. We'll see how it goes.
