Definición
- The history of elites is in many ways a history of networking—a history of wielding strength by making and maintaining powerful connections, whether through military alliances, strategic marriages, or involvement in business, political, and voluntary associations such as secret societies and fraternal organizations. While today's ubiquitous Internet and the creation of user-generated content capabilities accompanying the evolution of Web 2.0 have been hailed as democratic platforms that wield potential for flattening traditional social hierarchies, the development of applications to produce and manage social connections in this context has also been taken up as an opportunity to create exclusive communities for society's most influential people, commonly known as elites.
