		<description>I Agree, just as in real life in the online world too we like to orbit in circles that make us feel wanted.

Ego massage to some extent is important but when people start getting too much of it, they get addicted to it and then starts the trouble.</description>

		<description>When not face-to-face with people, we rely upon other tools to inform and shape our opinions of others  i.e.  do they have other friends/followers/ subscribers.  And more often than not, we orbit in web circles that massage our ego and on platforms where we feel liked and accepted.  Ego massage, in fact, seems to be a huge part of the &quot;sticky&quot; factor for any social network. It&#039;s part of the winning formula.</description>

		<description>Absolutely, that holds true for most things in life, Twitter included.

But I see such behavior more often than not.
Perhaps that&#039;s the reason behind so many ego-inflation tools.

What are your observations ?</description>
