Where can you reunite with high school buddies, cousins and former

coworkers at once? Facebook, of course. This virtual world provides fellowship, socializing, job networking, and can just help keep pals in touch. But,

just like high school has snobs, Facebook has snobs among the crowd too. Here are a few signs of a Facebook snob.

Facebook Snob Characteristic #1: Ignores friend requests from people they know or are related to.

This doesn't apply to ignoring the friend request of a psycho ex-boyfriend or someone you've never met. But, if you ignore the friend request of your great-aunt, friend at church or someone else you really know, you might be considered a Facebook snob. It really depends on the circumstances. If someone you know hasn't done something to harm you, and you just don't want to connect with them, you might be the qualifications of a Facebook snob.

Facebook Snob Characteristic #2: Accepts a friend request, then acts like they never existed.

Whenever I get a new friend request, I always try to make some effort to reconnect with the person. It could be as simple as commenting on their recent Facebook status, or "liking" their kids photos. Or, it could be a private message asking how they are doing. But, I would never accept a friend request and then never, ever comment on a Facebook status or picture.

It also definitely meets the qualifications of a Facebook snob if someone sends you a private message and you completely ignore the message altogether. ..

Facebook Snob Characteristic #3:Invites other Facebook friends to events, but ignores mutual, real-life friends.

If you're going to host a party, it's understandable if you can't invite everyone. However, it's best not to do it through Facebook. It's simply rude to let everyone else that you've invited some people to your party, but don't want other people to attend. Everyone else might be able to see about the event, read comments on their walls, etc. Try to be courtesy and invite people the old-fashioned way.

Would you "hide" someone in real life? Hiding friends might be considered a little snobby. It really depends on the circumstances. Read "Is it Rude to Hide Someone on Facebook? for more insight on this

issue. It's understandable to hide people to you don't really know well, or at all, but if you're hiding your brother, that might mean you are a Facebook snob.
