Very funny! Made me glad that none of the above is on either of my profiles!

Ah HAH – you've just hit on why I squeezed Social Media Enthusiast into my Twitter profile! I have a lot of fun at it without having to claim mastery or expertise or any such knowledge base. And I meet the nicest people this way (who aren't following me hoping I will guide them to the Promised Land of Social Media Perfection).

I went through my own Twitter follower list recently and deleted most of those people. All they do all day long is send you link after link on how to get more Twitter followers or how to do this or that. After awhile, it gets to be nothing but Twitter noise. I can never see the tweets I want to see for the ones I don't. I make it a rule now if the Social Media [fill in blank] has said very little personally or interesting on Twitter, I don't reciprocate the following. Chances are, the person will just unfollow me five minutes after I follow him anyway.

Great article Cheryl and my sentiments entirely. Although do my thoughts or comments count as I am not an expert

I've always thought of you as more of a kill bill sports yellow jumpsuit girl with Katana.

Wait a minute, you mean all these people I'm following are not what they say they are? You don't mean @santaclaus too right? For gosh sakes, HES VERIFIED!!

I'm just losing all my childhood misconceptions when I read your blog.

BTW, I like to think of myself as the term I hate the most. I'm a social media "influencer" (a dubious title at best)

I know what you mean! Seems like everybody is an Social Media Expert in some form or fashion. It's getting rather boring in my opinion. I sent you a DM on Twitter about Social Media "experts" a minute ago, and I bet you'll enjoy it. I thought about putting the links here in your comments for others to see as well, but I didn't want cha to think I'm spamming ya. Don't cha hate that?!

I thought maybe I was really missing something about all these Social Media folks. But now I know I'm not! Thanks for setting my mind at ease. I don't have to agonize about why I'm not an expert now!

We were just talking about the same thing here in our office. So many people also claim to be SEO and PPC experts. We’ve tried outsourcing so many things only to discover that we know more than the people who we hired to help us!
