Hi Nile,

This is Jeffrey Baril of Source Blogger. How are you?

I think we all have come across some element of "elite snobbery" on the net. I am very careful not to come off as a "stalker" or "groupie" so there are no misunderstandings.

You are right, they do lose out on a lot of positive interaction…which is why the rest of us who value each visit/each comment/each tweet stay more connected to our audience.

We are the new generation.

This topic pertains to anyone closed minded about not expanding their website properly through social media. A lot of people who have felt they are “popular” because of their follower numbers sometimes lose that humbleness that attracted people to them.

I would not worry in your case. It does not pertain to you.

I'm curious to hear more about this "chat room" thing – it sounds like your criticism is pretty specific, that some people are just chatting up a storm with their followers on Twitter or the like, and don't take the time to say hi to anyone new?

I'm wondering whether I have some bad "web elite" tendencies. I can't say I've been terribly successful networking (although that isn't true at all of late).

It happens when you have a larger following than others too. Some really have no inkling on how to connect on the social networks other to use it as another chat room. What they fail to do is create more interest and draw in possible new visitors to their site. It only takes a little bit of time.
