    My laugh was stifled by the truthiness of the comic. More talkers than doers, no?

    Amen. Social Media smells the same as the SEO wave, which smelled the same as the web marketing expert wave.

    Awesome cartoon. This resonates with me as well. It seems like every that friends me on twitter is some sort of new media/social media expert/consultant. It’s getting tiring.

    Not surprising that everyone and his cousin wants to jump on board the wave. Social media isn’t going away, even if we call it something else next year.

    It takes a really long time to realize what you don’t know and THAT is always a lot more than you thought you knew. :-)

    What is most ridiculous is new bloggers writing about how to make money blogging when they haven’t made any yet. Bloggers should write about what they KNOW.

    I consider myself hard core when it comes to mastering social network technologies.

    I met my wife on the ARPANet.
