How do you keep a good relationship with friends and family?

I often find it hard to keep good relationships with a lot of people at once. Have you tried social networking? I have a baby cousin living in London and thanks to Facebook and Twitter I can see pictures of him growing up and still speak to my uncle and auntie. Or using chat rooms and email I can keep in contact with everyone I know. One of the best gifts you can give someone is time, one of the most important aspects of a relationship is spending time together so make sure to visit the people you know and meet with them regularly!
