Ambient Intimacy

Posted by Jeff as web 2.0

Tom alerts me to a really great term to describe why Twitter is so sticky, ambient intimacy.

Dave Weinberger called it “continuous partial friendship” but I think it goes beyond that. The term Ambient Intimacy has been coined to cover one of the aspects of Twitter – it brings you a lot closer to people you might ordinarily never get to know (if you decide you don’t want to know them, you simply stop following them!).
