- Text: Might not have their number, have to pay, it's only available on their phone, not on their computer
- WhatsApp (or similar): They may not have it, I may not be their contact, only available on their phones
- SnapChat: Hard to hold a conversation with someone
- Instagram: Great for sharing photos, not for communicating
- Facebook: Am Friends with everyone I will need to contact. Easy to use. They receive it on their phone and computer (more likely to see it sooner). Free.
Facebook may lose some interest from people but I'm sure it will be around for a long time, at least until the large majority of people have moved to another platform where they can communicate
