There si an expression in England regarding employment "Givethem money, if you can't give them money - give them a uniform, fi you can't give them a title" Looks like 'deputy' is it for you! Regards Neil Dear Amber,

I just wrote a comment to that effect (especially regarding the MLM mumbo-jumbo propaganda happening all over Social Media) in a Group discussion thread on LinkedIn. I call it Social Noise, or totally uninteresting Content. And for the record, I, for one, and I know for sure not to be the only one, would never seek nor trust the advice of anyone self-proclaiming her/himself a Social Media Guru. What a pity???

It shows us all that you're human and have the 'chutzpah' to post content like this. I think 'guru' or 'expert' is simply the name with which people associate their social media title because people don't know what to call themselves in order to stay ahead of the competition. The fact is, and you pointed this out, we're all learning the space together, so no one is an expert. Furthermore, I think as these platforms become even more noisy than they already are, alliances and collaborative efforts must happen-- which I see in some cases already happening. Everyone at some point or another is going to have to work together because overpopulation in the space will force them to, and those social media gurus, well, they'll either learn or be last one picked for kickball. Play nice in the sandbox everyone. Amber,
