Individual correspondence is important, and I don't think Twitter would be a good vehicle for the types of things that might be communicated in personal correspondence.
That's actually exactly why I like Twitter. Direct Messages are a perfect way of keeping in touch with friends over something that isn't email worthy--the equivalent of sending an SMS if we were in the same country.
