Don’t Be a YASMINE

leave a comment »

I’ve got a fair few followers on my Twitter, not that I’m counting mind you but I have to say that within the Twitterverse there are alot of so called Social Media Experts.  It seems alot of the people that have hunted me down and followed me yet not engaged with me in any conversation do so in the anticipation that I would auto-follow them back.  Hey, we use technology how we want so all is fair.  So what qualifies one as a Social Media Expert?  Well I’m sure it’s different for other people.  Ok I just did a quick Twitter search for ‘Social Media Expert’, looks like I’m not the only person tolerating this.  They call this SMEP (Social Media Expert Phobia).  That’s a good name for the victims but I’d like to publicly announce today that I release the term for the plague known as YASMINE (Yet Another Social Media INdustry Expert).  If you follow me, please don’t be a YASMINE, but if you do, you better engage me with some meaningful info or conversation or you’re getting blocked.  Those cheap marketing tactics won’t work on me buddy!
