Herein lies the challenge with most companies, they are only just (only just) getting the point about understanding that their websites should be a part of a bigger digital strategy or even as a factor of a marketing plan. Add social media to the equation and companies are tied either by resource, policy or traditional business values. God forbid allowing people to discuss... Please keep ranting!

Most companies do not have a clue where to start looking or what social media skills even are.... And that could lead them down a road to an inferior person/product.. That is what makes it easy for these so called guru's to pop up all over in the first place... JD, One huge problem I see in this all.

It's social media. The idea is that people socialize about it. Thank you for the thought! Now I have another rant to write (after which I promise to focus on being constructive rather than ripping on others).

Because not all businesses know about Social Media, they then hear about it and are like "Well, maybe we should jump into this..." and then they come across a supposed expert or guru. I've had an ongoing conversation about this whole expert and guru business over the last couple days with some of my friends and I firmly believe that if you personally claim you're an expert or "guru" and I don't hear anyone else saying so, you're full of it. Social Media is super powerful and can be used in an amazing and business changing way. The only issue is finding the proper information and the right people to help you which you can easily do, by doing the proper research ahead of time and not latching on like a rabid pitbull to someone else's words, which can then get you in a not so profitable situation.
