Leaking Bath Overflow

Wanted: Social Media Expert (checklist)

Clearly it has become fashionable Analist profile of Social Media, Social Media Strategist or what you call. I, that I labeled as such only once to sneak into a private party for a fashion agency, I think many are willing to take advantage of the tug, to confuse and cashing. So I, I'm not at all interested in the label, wanted to expose my 25 points to "rule out" the fake experts, distilled from the experience of others:

21) Do not repeat compulsively the important thing is to listen, and listen while others speak.

22) believe that the KPIs are open interfaces to develop applications of Twitter.

23) There have been almost his blog, and have created a posterous, because what is now the livestreaming mola.

24) Have not had a brain implant to condense slogans than 140 characters.

Updated November 6
This post is a serious attempt to laugh at myself. The debate "permanent" in USA, about the supposed "experts" in Social Media, tired. Tweet myself this week that no one who complains about the "false" experts, who considered himself an expert. Where is the certification of experts? As I do not want to fall into the same temptation myself, I wrote this post, to exorcise my Social Media Expert airs.
write this update, because we very quick in this world oversaturated with info, and sometimes the irony may be too subtle to grasp in all its dimensions.
