Getting the latest gossip has never been easier, you don't have to visit the office water cooler for the latest happenings.  Almost every office has that person that knows everything going on in the office, but now gossip can be spread quicker using email, or instant message, or the casual desk conversation, so no need for the gathering by the watering hole.  If you have a Mini Water Cooler at your desk then you will be sure that you get all the office drama, and will always be in the know, without even leaving your desk.  Just be careful because gossiping can get you in trouble!
