Ask HN: How are you interacting with friends/family online?

6 points by caseyf7 ↗ HN
Besides video conferencing, how are you spending time with remote friends and family online?

Are there good multiplayer games/activities that work for kids and grandparents?

I don't use video conferencing myself; I do not have a video camera. I use email, and I have also used a direct connection (with a command like "ts | tee | nc | ts | tee", and then the two output files can be combined and sorted to produce a transcript. I also sometimes talk on the telephone.
