> If your only form of communication is random updates/photos from them that you don't actively seek, then you don't really care in the first place do you?

Firstly, I didn't say it was my only communication. Secondly, it does a lot to help fill in the gaps between meetings/conversations.

> Nobody is too busy for a short phone call once in awhile.

And nobody said phone calls are the only -- or even preferred -- means of communication.
