Saw this quote on Google the other day:
"The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect."
----- Esther Dyson
Yup, I think that's right. The internet lowers your inhibitions, and facilitates your desired behavior, be it social or anti-social.
And now, if you're social (and 'fringe' as well) you can not only connect with others, you can do a group mind meld, via Twitter. Check it:

Finally, something useful for Twitter. Group psychosis! :P
After all, psychics already have half a dozen Facebook groups. (seriously. search it.) It only makes sense to extend their reach into the near-real-time of the Twittersphere.
But, um... they shouldn't need the web, right? Aren't they... psychic?
