Reading through the above, I was actually reminded of one of &lt;A HREF="http://dannybrown.me/2008/10/17/are-we-turning-into-social-media-snobs/" REL="nofollow"&gt;your previous posts&lt;/A&gt; on 'elitism' in the social media.  The pro-social media crowd is far more vocal than the anti-social media one; which is slightly concerning, particularly when many new media elitists effectively 'dictate' their perspectives.  Fortunately, an increasingly knowledgeable collection of social media advocates seem to recognise the importance examining the two sides of the equation.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5285812003538838741/3969104765460804234/comments/default/7269163657045586377'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5285812003538838741/3969104765460804234/comments/default/7269163657045586377'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.thelovablerogue.co.uk/2008/11/social-media-are-you-open-to.html?showComment=1226264160000#c7269163657045586377' title=''/><author><name>The Lovable Rogue also known as Chris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10660157291722137172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.thelovablerogue.co.uk/2008/11/social-media-are-you-open-to.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285812003538838741.post-3969104765460804234' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5285812003538838741/posts/default/3969104765460804234' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-117121288'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285812003538838741.post-3955844493693240160</id><published>2008-11-09T18:49:00.000Z</published><updated>2008-11-09T18:49:00.000Z</updated><title type='text'>I agree.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Although I feel social media has m...</title><content type='html'>I agree.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Although I feel social media has more pros than cons, I'm not naive enough to think it's going to solve the world's ills or make your business suddenly take off into the stratosphere.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;It's like anything - it has its pluses and benefits. What you get out of it is down to how you use it and using the right tools for your needs.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The one thing I don't like about social media is the surge of self-pronounced experts and gurus. There are definitely some that stand head and shoulders above anyone else in knowledge, but even the best of these experts admit to still learning.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The amount of times I've looked at a social media "guru's" professional profile and wondered "And what makes you such an expert" is getting beyond a joke.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Sorry, the fact you blog and have a Twitter account with 1000+ followers does not an expert make...</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5285812003538838741/3969104765460804234/comments/default/3955844493693240160'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5285812003538838741/3969104765460804234/comments/default/3955844493693240160'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.thelovablerogue.co.uk/2008/11/social-media-are-you-open-to.html?showComment=1226256540000#c3955844493693240160' title=''/><author><name>Danny Brown</name><uri>http://dannybrown.me</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.thelovablerogue.co.uk/2008/11/social-media-are-you-open-to.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285812003538838741.post-3969104765460804234' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5285812003538838741/posts/default/3969104765460804234' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-443806719'/></entry></feed>
