There are so many things I am thankful for, “Friends who are smarter, cooler, and better looking than me… and Jesus” and then, after I saw what Aaron Brazell @technosailor was thankful for, “Not being a social media guru,” I asked to have another shot below, being thankful for “Being a social media guru.” Apparently those are fighting words*!

*Historically, there is a universal witch hunt against anyone who self-identifies with being an SMG or SME — a social media guru or a social media expert!  So, I guess I am inviting trouble.

Ron Bronson scores full points with his article dedicated to the need for more instead of fewer social media experts. Experts and not “hucksters trying to make a fast buck on the backs of unsuspecting people in the field.” Be sure to read the entire article, We need more social media experts, as this is only an excerpt:

Social media expert, town crier, blogsmith or whatever your title de jour is…we need more of you. Because lots of folks are simply not aware of how fast the media is shifting and the flow of information traffic is going against the flow of those who are leading us. People want to stay plugged in and there are tools for that. Does it take time? Sure, it does. No such thing as a free lunch.
