The feeling of family affection and intimacy has been the most noble emotion of all mankind. “Intimate” stands for the feeling between lovers and family members; “Intimate” also means grateful and thankful, means a friend in need, means emotion and love, means thinking of others before oneself…Whereas in the modern world of commodity today, “intimate” seems departing us. How can we seek, find, take back and re-connect with this close feeling and make “intimate” not just a notion, a commodity or an icon? How can we mingle “intimate” in service experiences and innovations, and to build a bridge of trust between service providers and users with this element? The advancement of social economy and modern technology has elevated people’s living standard and brought about more convenient lifestyle, in the meantime people are craving more than ever before for “intimate” service content and connotation, which will bring us back to the origin of commonly beneficial community.
