I’m calling out all the “Social Media Experts”

March 28, 2009 by JR Farr

Yep, it’s time… I’ve had enough of this and since this is my personal site I can pretty much say whatever’s on my mind.

This is what really busting my chops… over the last few months Twitter has hit mainstream and it’s off the chain. Along with Twitter, there’s also Facebook, YouTube and every other social network out there that are growing bigger and bigger everyday. This is all fine and dandy but now we’ve got every person on Twitter claiming they’re social media expert. Really? You’re kidding me right? So after a few months of “tweeting your tweets” and setting up a Facebook account you’re now a Social Media expert!?

I’m no expert that’s for sure and I’ve got plenty of learning to do still. If you want to see an expert in Social Media go read Chris Brogans’ blog.

Maybe I’m being a bit too harsh but if you agree with me can you let me know so I don’t think I’m crazy.

Shawn — 29 March 2009 20:21: This is whole thing has gotten way out of hand. When I first got on Twitter, all I read on peoples profiles was how they "specialized in Social Media" To me, social media is just a component that goes along side your marketing strategy. Specifically, for SEO and you can't build a whole business just using Social Media.
