Some sad news Christmas Day

5. And how important it is to try to stay in touch. Email is really good - SMS not so much.

I try to ping (send an email) to 10-20 of my past acquaintances one or twice a year. I do care about each and every one and I hope they want to know that my pinger is still working.

I know many people who have gotten into the "read via phone, forget to reply" mode. While our omnipresent mobile devices make it easy to get short messages or email subject lines, they aren't good at typing a response. And the reminder to respond has disappeared. I do like gmail's "remind me later" feature.

Maybe this isn't a problem with fb but then, of course, it is only a fb community that sees these.
