"Why? Psychologist Corinne Sweet says: "Wanting to
communicate with others when you experience emotions such as sadness,
entertainment, fear or awe is a part of the human condition. As
television often prompts these feelings, it is not surprising that more
of us are taking advantage of evolving technology to share our
thoughts."
We used to do that round the watercooler the following day.
Exactly. The fragmentation of audiences was thought to have killed
watercooler TV conversation, but these days we gather round a virtual
watercooler."
