Twittering for me is quite a personal activity - and I want to feel free to express myself fully. I want to feel free to swear, to bitch about a meeting or just be plain silly. Facebook is similar - although I engage with it less and less often now. I was more broad in who I added at first and am now more circumspect in my posting. LinkedIn is purely professional and as such I behave in a different way. I also feel rude in turning down follow requests - which often leads me to have followers that I've forgotten about, particularly lurking colleagues. Occasionally they'll mention a tweet in a way that suddenly makes me aware that my network is wider than the obvious. In this instance it would be useful to create circles of intimacy - although greater effort would then be required in the use of Twitter which might make it less attractive?

Being able to turn down the gain would mean that only the most important and relevant, close, intimate messages would get through. Turning the gain back up would allow the noisier content to be appreciated again in its less contextually relevant but nevertheless entertaining and socially important way... ~biff~ I think there may be another facet to Ambient Intimacy that calls for a second control next to volume, and that is Gain.

Ideally, it would be interesting to have somewhat of neural intelligence behind profiles and personal evolution..according to us changing over time, people get drawn closer to our social emotional centre or pushed farther.. thoughts..
