I am not the world’s greatest letter writer, but in years gone by I do even less than I have done before.
Why is this?
Most, not all the people I know. I can stay in touch with on Facebook or other Social Media Sites.
I can see when a family member has gone to party, visited a place, lost a mobile phone.
That is one tangle benefit of Social media.
I’m on facebook, but it’s nowhere NEAR what letter writing is. Comparing Facebook to letter writing is sort of like comparing McDonald’s fast food to a fine-dining restaurant. Yeah, they’re both food, but they are two completely different experiences. They both have their uses, but you wouldn’t want to only have one or the other.
I do quick notes of urgency by email but I still think it rocks to pour your heart out onto paper and stick it in the mail. Letter writing is awesome.
I’m slightly biased since I maintain a letter writing web site over at passionforletters.com. Can’t help myself! 🙂
