Inernet Intimacy

What a phenomenon it is to have Facebook and Twitter.

They have brought an intimacy to the famous that was previously unknown.


Yesterday I was able to:

1) follow a household name who is never off British TV as he wandered in Manhattan
2) enjoy the exploits of a well known comedian/actor as he catered for plumbers improving his central heating
3) visit the House of Commons with a political commentator
4) aggravate Tory voters by making comments about William Hague's extra-parliamentary activities
5) discuss with a Christian writer/columnist the problems of our respective children

Such a day would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. But I did it all yesterday.
Quite remarkable, and very enjoyable.
