It’s all in context. To you I am not an expert in social media. To my librarian and knowledge management friends who have not yet delved into this area or are just starting out, I am. They look to me to experiment, learn and then teach them. They come to me for advice, they ask me to write papers, speak and teach. Voila, I am labeled an expert.

Conversely, you may see me as a library expert, but my librarian friends see my skills as about the same as theirs. So being a librarian makes me stand out to you, but not to them.

My wise friend Joel Alleyne says “if you speak French in New York City, you are an expert in French. If you speak French in France, you are just another person on the street.”

Dave, I have to agree with you. The term expert can often be used loosely but I think you have a point. Social media is here to stay and the more campaigns you plan and implement for a client the more experienced you become. We are starting to figure out quickers ways of implementing things and this is because our team are doing it everyday. However, that said I am still not calling myself an expert yet.

Dave, I think it’s important to distinguish between people who understand social media rules and relationship building and those who don’t. I recently read an academic journal article about social media that reflected little understanding of the area. There must be some way to distinguish people who are engaged in social media and those who are not.
