The New Mystery Science Theatre 3000

I love Twitter. I loved it even more on the opening night of the 2010 Winter Olympics.

It was just so much fun sitting there watching the Opening Ceremonies all by myself (ok the BF was there...) and yet at the same time watching it with a roomful of other people.

I thought the opening ceremonies was actually quiet good in my opinion. I throughly enjoyed it. But with all things, there is always a few kinks that happen. And watching other people make fun of the same things that you were just thinking is slightly surreal but highly entertaining..

There is definitely a sense of community that comes from "talking" about a common event with people, even if I've never met them.

Which is something so unique about all forms of social media. It is what makes things like Twitter and Facebook work. We are social creatures. We crave connections with other human beings. And in a world that we increasingly don't know who is next door to us, we make those connections with the person around the world from us.
