I don't like this. I'm a proponent of the "slow web" -- a philosophy that treasures real-life reciprocation over online engagement. It eschews the idea of endorphin-releasing actions with the sole purpose but draining cognitive reservoirs.
The idea of engaging in conversations with no point except "sharing" -- with reduced focus on meaningful dialogue and increased focus on the simplistic pleasure of "getting mail" -- I find this kinda repulsive.
Perhaps this is grandiose, but it strikes me as the lowest common denominator of human interaction.
Not looking forward to stuff like this...
EDIT: And yes, I concede that it's pretty ingenious...! But I still don't like it. It's too much of a psychological hack for my tastes
