As more and more people become mobile to visit friends, family, and business colleagues using social networking websites, technologies in use today like Couchsurfingcom or online hitchhiking websites (OHWS) are allowing people to create new, planned encounters between other strangers. This book adds to the small body of work currently existing in the social sciences which describes ways in which the internet aids such face-to-face intimacy.
