I use Facebook to keep up with my children. My daughter is always posting pictures of grandchildren and I love seeing them. I'm excited that Facebook is going to be using Skype.
We've Skyped for a few years now. I even read bedtime stories to my grandsons even though I'm in Ca. and they are in Virginia. My daughter sets up the laptop in my grandsons bedroom and then leaves the room so my grandson and I can talk for a while and then I read him a goodnight story.
I sure works for us.
