A good friend from grad school (UK) emailed me last week. He had quit Facebook. I immediately responded and the interaction was much more meaningful than passive info sharing over Facebook. It was great to catch up, and get a more personalized and open message. That being said it takes a lot more effort. Chances are it'll limit the number of people we keep in touch with. But that's probably not so bad, as it'll force us to focus on the people we care about most.
