People really seem to be enjoying the two video posts. My favorite response on twitter was this one from Emily Speed:
“@VanessaBartlett I’ll tell you what’s intimate: being in bed & holding phone up to my shortsighted face and watching you talk/slurp wine.”
I guess this is the thing, the level of intimacy depends both on the person who is talking (me) and the viewer and how/where they are when they engage. Something to keep in mind I think.
