I’ll draw inspiration from Chris Coyier of css-tricks.com and a dear friend / partner in crime of mine, Yiannis Konstantakopoulos, for today.
Chris Coyier started a Twitter / blog meme, calling people to fill in the gaps in the phrase “CSS is like _______”.
Yiannis wrote an excellent, insightful post concerning all the hullaballoo on the social media field today in css3.gr.
I’ll combine them both and say:
Social Media Experts are _______.
It’s up to you to fill in the gaps.
My take is: Social Media Experts are talking about their work more than they actually work about it.
If you’re offended by this, OK, I add an “IMHO” in there. Or a “most”. As in, Most Social Media Experts are…
Feel free to add your thoughts, positive or negative.

Ooh! This is fun!
Social Media Experts are too busy complaining about social media experts to realize that they need a more diverse network of non-social media experts.
Social Media Experts are always standing in front of a white background when their picture is taken.
Social Media Experts are not employed by many larger corporations, or we’d see better examples of Social Media in action.
Social Media Experts are due for their own reality television show on Fox.

Social Media Experts are not the ones that claim on their twitter/FB/AIM/whatever profile that they are a “social media expert”.

Social media experts are above the average internet users that have plenty of time to kill!

Social media experts are anti-social sociopaths with urge to kill everything that looks or reminds of web 1.0.

It’s not possible to be a social media expert – it’s like being a professional amateur or being deeply shadow.
