I have the same experience with not being signed into chat networks, or not having Facebook / WhatsApp / Twitter etc. etc. accounts. People either don't tell me anything, or they email.
The craziest thing I get asked is "Do you have WhatsApp? I can send you pictures, and it's FREE!". Oddly the thought of sending an email with a picture attached (how easy is it on a phone these days??) doesn't pop into their mind as being "free" either!!! Insane! Email is far superior, as I can archive it unlike IM history.
> Email is far superior...

I mention in another thread that if Signal (nee TextSecure) doesn't take off, perhaps what we need is a super-sexy frontend on top of SMTP and IMAP.

The thing that really gets me going is the folks who will only send pictures with MMS.
