It has definitely kept me in touch with friends that I would have not 
kept in touch with any other way--at least not as frequently.  Email can 
be much more impersonal because it's not "real time" or even if it is, 
it doesn't feel like it.  Plus, when you're online and you see a friend 
online, you can just say "hi."  You probably wouldn't write an email 
just to say hi.
