There are so many new ways to comment in a social environment with instant comments, like what Meebo is doing with their live chat.

It’s getting more social, but causing less face to face interaction.

Media was always a social experience
The channels media has historically been distributed through were inherently social (from plays in the park in Shakespeare’s era through to watching TV with your family)
The new channels (online) tend to take away that social element (watching YouTube on your own late at night with nothing but the glow of a computer screen for company)
How do we bring back the social element?
