Ambient Intimacy

Reboot 9.0 - Ambient Intimacy

What is Ambient Intimacy good for? I think it's incredibly good at providing phatic expression online. Phatic expression being the language we use for the purpose of being social, not so much for sharing information or ideas. It's like the virtual 'what's up' or 'how're you doing'?'
