This is all in fun and I love all my “Social Media” friends and no social media experts where hurt in the making of this article. (none that I know of anyways)
I have yet to come across any social media pimps, come on I know there is a social media pimp out there, lets hear from you! Who is your social media daddy?
Ok we know you are not a social media expert, so to all my social media peeps what title do you give yourself? is it any of the above mentioned titles? Come on Chris Brogan you have to be a social media expert right?

Well Mr. Danny, I call myself a Social Media Strategist. Expert? Guru? Me? Not at all! How can anyone be an expert in something that is changing each and every day. Strategist is a good term because I am always strategizing new ways to use these awesome tools for myself and my clients. I guess I could be a researcher too hehe

Related to this topic: I know a little firm with 6 employees and each of them is a some kind of director( in this firm)…… I think this is funny…… Lukas
What’s wrong with saying you’re a social media expert anyways? I’m new to social media so should I say I’m a social media amateur?
I am just a social media beginner. LOL
Or, following your this article, I can be regarded as a ‘Social Media Guy’.

Well I think Justin Bieber’s marketing team did pretty well on Twitter! Kudos to them for that despite how much you hate his/her singing…
Haha, funny list. especially: # Social Media Freak Marilyn Manson?
although I use to be a big fan.
Social media and networking is a great way to expand the reach of your site or blog. If you link all your social networking profiles together you can really look like an expert.
LOL some are actually pretty smart and ingenious like evangelist (Is Social Media a cult now?) Or maybe the more simple ones like nut. hehe Nice list.
I will call myself ”Social Media Champion” funny post!

Hi Danny,
Very funny post and I think you covered just about every possible name. It seems to me that these days there are a lot of social media evangelists as well as doubters.
I don’t like labels but if I had to have a social media kind of name I think it would be social media explorer. I’m still not sure about the ROI of it all so I tread lightly and certainly avoid any preaching about it either way.

Really funny post. Yeah, people are experts just for anything they say. Who’s there to stop them? There ins’t any online police to check them out.
Funny post indeed, but really worth the second thought, you shouldn’t call yourself a guru or what even , you build it and others name you what you deserved.
Social media is a great way to advertise
I love the post. I call myself The Social Media Bloke because I come from a land Downunder, and not, as you say, Britain. So it matches my heritage if you like and I agree, you cannot be called an expert in this field as it changes on a daily basis. So in Australia, if you want something done, you go to the ‘bloke’ who can do it for you..that just happens to be Me in social media

This is very strange media where strategic planning always remains in growth. One has to make his planning according to the planning happening over the globe.
Great collection of tools in Twitter. I am trying to increase my followers list but when buzzom stopped their bulk unfollow functionality I had a hard time. Thanks for this, I found an alternative.
