Twitter in general, nothing we have not said.

Twitter's Evan Williams is giving and invited talk at ICWSM and just showed a great quote from Leisa Reichelt.

* Ambient intimacy is about being able to keep in touch with people with a level of regularity and intimacy that you wouldn't usually have access to, because time and space conspire to make it impossible. Flickr lets me see what friends are eating for lunch, how they've redecorated their bedroom, their latest haircut. Twitter tells me when they're hungry, what technology is currently frustrating them, who they're having drinks with tonight.*
