Until the government reigns in FB with some real regulations I won't have squat to do with them. They want to sell my info, they should have to pay for it first and once they have it they should have to take responsibility for what they allow to happen with it.

It's professional, courteous, and affords immediate response.

They also won't receive an email (which more often than not goes to spam anyway). And most of the older generation (I'm in my 40's, so I'm speaking of my parents) are using iPads now anyway. Overall, using FB has been very effective at reaching a large percentage of our customer base. We do also update our IVR when we have outages so people calling get it there, but it happens more quickly on FB.

In fact, I believe the majority of customers use their phone as their primary email platform. Very few check email from computers anymore. However this is skewed by age. Older customers use the computer more than younger ones. Customers in their 20s and 30s hardly ever touch a computer and receive email/twitter updates easily during an outage. While their phones are set to use wifi, when it isn’t there they continue on cellular.
