That's exactly how I felt about FB vs email, so maybe this really is another step in the direction of "trivializing communication"

It probably has unforeseen collateral damage though, much like FB.

Except that Facebook posts are public and everyone can see the failed communication attempt. Or Facebook messaging which is no better than email/text messaging and demands a reply. I love snapchat for exactly this no reply needed nature
