The best way to keep people coming back to a web site is to provide fresh, interesting content. Are people the same way? Are we drawn to spending time with people who provide us with fresh, interesting content and bored by those who don't?
I think there is an important distinction between Website-Human interaction and Human-Human interaction. EMOTION. The game is changed. Know-it-alls could probably keep providing fresh, interesting content, but no one likes them even though their content could be of value to you.
I'm always hesitant to make grand statements, without allowing for exceptions, so I'll say yes, some are. Curious minds love to learn, and one of the best ways to learn is from other people. I think we are drawn to people with new stories or adventures in the same way that we are drawn to websites with fresh content, but I agree that there is a distinction between the two. A person's value is not just drawn from the content they provide; therefore, we keep coming back for other reasons as well.
