Ooh those “social media gurus” get me so mad!

Especially, the ones who are in PR as well. Danny, if you are a blogger and have to deal with them for your blog reviews they are horrendous. I've had such a bad experience with two in particular — http://sashahalima.com/blog/?p=4006

“To me, a guru or expert becomes one from people’s views of them.” <– exactly!

You conveyed your point a lot “nicer” than I did, lol. But I'm glad to know that there is someone else on the same page with them.

Excellent post

Just wanted to say that this is a fantastic article, as I am an avid follower of the interesting phenomenon known as Social Media Marketing – have noticed the over-saturation of “Social Media Experts” recently. You put my frustrations into print – exactly.

On top of that the tonnes and tonnes of “Social Media Consultants” that have sprung up. I’m glad that I’m not put in a position to have to weed out the fakes from the people with actual real-world experience and expertise.

Hi John,

Thanks, and glad you enjoyed the post. There does seem to be a proliferation of gurus appearing – must have missed the PhD on that one!

A friend of mine, Susan Murphy (@SuzeMuse on Twitter) will be guest posting a follow-up to this topic tomorrow – hope you can join us. Now I’ll off and read your post.

Hi Danny,

Timely, and totally agree. You may be interested in the same question I asked yesterday — must be a nightmare for the HR departments.
