To them, phone calls and instant messaging are too immediate and lack feeling, while email is too staid and slow, but sharing an online apartment is something different-with a shared diary and "residence", the two can create a warmer, more intimate environment and make themselves feel closer together, overcoming the psychological effects of living far apart.
對他們來說，打電話和一來一往的 MSN 都太即時、沒有「fu」，Email 又太慢、太死板，但是在網站同居就不一樣，透過共同日記的分享，情侶可以沈澱感覺，讓感情加溫，而且還帶來「雖然我們相隔很遠，但在這裡同居卻靠得很近」的心理補償感。
