Hmmm, not sure if I agree or disagree with this. When it comes to immediate family like brothers, significant others, and parentals...I would have to say face-to-face. You can't beat it. Not to mention my family is hilarious with the things we talk about and conversation in general. Usually humor is not transcribed well through text.
When it comes to cousins and such....ummmm...I'd prefer facebook actually. I find a certain amount of my cousins relatively annoying. That and if conversation becomes very stale, I can just excuse myself from conversation. Easy as that. They add me on facebook, can see at all times what I'm doing, thus leaves me with less obligation to talk to them when I see them at family gatherings haha.
Now, the awkwardness is adding family. I often forget that I have 12 year old cousins who read what I post and frequently think...oh my...probably should have edited that. But then again, 12 year olds nowadays are doing MUCH different things then when I was 12. I tend to think they can teach me what's up rather then the other way around.
I added my mom on facebook the other day. This came after much deliberation, going through my photo albums, through my statuses...or stati...or whatever the plural form of "status" is; I finally decided to push the "Add as Friend" button. Well, she rarely does anything but sends me requests to join Farmville. She may have snooped on me, but meh, it's my mom...it's basically her job no matter what. haha I've resigned to that fact.
