Does Instant Messaging Really Keep Us in Touch?

I have a lot of friends. I am 28 years old, have lived in many different cities and have met many different people along the way. Some have impacted my life in a positive way, some haven't but all in all they are still friends. I try to keep up with what is going on in their lives, but in this fast paced world, sometimes that isn't so easy. I sign in to MSN Messenger and thirty seconds later I have 30 "what's up"s to deal with. In an attempt to keep my sanity, I respond with the generic "nothin u?" to most and that in most likelihood, regardless if they respond or not, is all I ever write. That's the end of the conversation.
