Now that the web is clearly social, what happens when the web becomes emotional?

Streams are already under pressure from the technorati as expired. What will follow the stream (which is a liquid, really) as a metaphor for the state of the information layer? Gases, or plasmas? What will gases and plasmas made of information feel like experientially? How will they behave?
