I live in Georgia. My folks live in Minnesota and Tennessee. Birthday cards are always welcomed; letters too. Phone calls are great because you get to carry on a dialog. But video chatting is the best! My little boy can see his grandparents and show off his newest artwork or clothing Mommy bought him.
Right now most people have heard of Skype. It is a great video chatting program. There are even a few TVs now that have it built in. Facebook now offers video chatting built-in (it uses Skype).
A really good alternative (that I highly recommend you try) is Google Talk. And to compete with Facebook, Google+ has a video chat service as well (called "hangout") that goes one-up on Facebook by supporting multiple people in the video chat at the same time. Very cool.
I hope to get my family to convert from Skype to Google Talk. Then I can walk around the house with my tablet and chat with them as Skype isn't yet available for Android tablets.
