I don't believe than naming the person in my post would do anything - if they worried about what I (as someone who appreciated their presentation enough to let them know) had to say, they wouldn't have behaved that way in the first place. I think the "moral of the story" is that with today's social media impacting people further removed than friends or "friends of friends" it's important for EVERYONE to behave as if their actions will be reported on/blogged about/Tweeted/posted on Facebook/etc. because more and more often they will!

I recall past anecdotes of private celebrity run-ins, but they were limited to friends or "friends of friends" scope. Now I end up hearing from you and would be able to support you if I run into this celebrity, if you named him/her . . . Some celebrities are still learning all their actions might be reported?

I think Tweetups are a great way to get out from behind they keyboard and polish your in-person social skills! Unfortunately, Silicon Valley is a bit out of my travel range right now, but would it be ok if I got in touch if I'm ever in the area?

Such crap. In the grand scheme of things 95% of the world doesn't know this so-called "twit-celeb" ("twit" seems fitting). There sense of self-entitlement is embarrassing. If social media is about connecting, being authentic, etc., they are obviously not doing so. I still believe there's no substitute for the real thing. It's easy to hide behind a keyboard and a DSL line. That's why tweetups, etc are so great. (Shameless plug for Silicon Valley Tweetup!) Keep up the good work! You should call them out! Such crap.

It is great to chat with you on <a href="http://wthashtag.com/Blogchat" rel="nofollow">#blogchat</a> and I was so happy to see your kind comment. I have worked on television and radio commercials with national celebrities and only once in 20+ years have I come across a situation like this (a sports celebrity) - the vast majority of those that I met were more like <a href="http://www.curtsmithofficial.com/" rel="nofollow">Curt Smith</a> who joined us on #blogchat on Sunday, and seem to take their popularity in stride.

I have worked in the movie business and I can tell you that Social media has its lot of inflated egos. I totally agree with some of the comments about this so-called Twitter celeb being so innapropriate. I was raised to say Thank you when someone gives you a compliment. But as I say, the ones we call celeb, rockstars,..sometimes are dumbfounded by their fame an some don't even know why they deserve such recognition so they lose it. Thanks again for being so honest about your thoughts and feelings. Karimacarherine Hi Sharon
