The Death of BCC

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fog-of-flamewar dept.

An anonymous reader writes "An interesting op-ed at NeoSmart discusses the demise of BCC in emails at the hands of Facebook and the like. It discusses how certain technologies that are slowly being supplanted by 'cooler' yet less effective alternatives have actually been spoiled for all, since they rely on a basic community-wide awareness regarding these technologies for them to work."

    Saying BCC is dead because people use facebook is like saying SSH or FTP is dead, because my mom doesn't use either.
