i'm thinkin' of taking your post, printing it off and sending it to my boss. Hopefully, it will feel like 'deja vu' when he goes to hire another Social Media “consultant.”

I followed your publications closely for a good time, and your articles always are interesting…
And you have reason, there are persons who feel expert simply for speaking about the Social Media…

jEjEjEje.. Good Article…

He seguido tus publicaciones de cerca desde hace un buen tiempo, y tus artículos siempre son interesantes…
Y tienes razón, hay personas que se sienten expertos simplemente por hablar de el tema.

Funny tweet to end your post. If it were only that easy to become an expert in social media.

failure can leads to learning. It is the same as little children learn to walk and then fall and then stand up go and again fall. but this is how experience and knowledge comes.

I agree with what you see. There is so much generic advice around but very little on the nuts and bolts of it or, enacting a viable strategy using the various elements of social media correctly.

I agree whole-heartedly that unless you’ve seen the trenches you can say you get social media. You can watch it, even participate in it, but until you get your hands dirty you don’t know it.

I’d like to add that you can’t learn this in a book or take a few courses and workshops and understand how to make things work. You have to try and fail and try and succeed to understand how it works and know that it works differently every single time.
