Ambient intimacy is seeing twitter's "What's happening?” prompt and answering, "How was your day?" instead. Given sufficiently personal expressions, what accretes is “real” intimacy — just digitally-transmitted instead of verbally-expressed over a kitchen sink. And even in the case of one-sided communications, granting the emitter your attention gives them access to the same cognitive machinery.
i haven't seen much about Block Party, although apparently it's existed in beta for over a year. Interested in the shared review features, one thing I'm always concerned about is unrecoverable false positives in filtering, because I'm a hoarder infojunkie who can't bear the thought of missing something.

I'm shook. Ambient intimacy is such a good term.
