Overexcited to make connections with those followed online (10)

'those followed online' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'overexcited to make connections' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'overexcited' could be 'hyper' (I've seen this before) and 'hyper' is found within the answer.
'connections' could be 'links' (link is a kind of connection) and 'links' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
