Sean Moffitt writes the Buzz Canuck blog, which admittedly makes me do a double take when I see it in my feeds – thinking it should be under the sports tab, but I digress.
He is “Canada’s Word of Mouth Firestarter” as the President of Agent Wildfire and recently added to this post, “The 6 Dangerous Fallacies of Social Media” by Jason Baer by writing his own, “12 Massive Oversights of Social Media“.
I’ll list the “myths” and topics here in point form, in the hopes that some discussion may follow, as Sean notes, “It would appear both the aloof corporate types and the social media zealots in their distracted apathy and/or super-enthusiasm have attributed social media with traits it simply does not have.”
- Social media is the end game…
- Social Media is Facebook…
- Social media is a fad…
- Social Media should be well planned…
- Social Media Drives Exposure and Awareness…
- Social Media is Frugal…
- Social Media is Quick Relief…
- Social Media is Avoidable…
- Social Media is a Panacea…
- Social Media is Predictable…
- Social Media is a Media…
- Social Media is Technology…
You can read all of the details, comments, and explanations over on Sean’s post.
Rebecca,
Thanks for the follow…I hope not all your readers agree with the 12 but the sweeping assertions that the experts and the naysayers say about social media beg some type of forum for debate.
And yes Canuck is a different thing in your world I admit….by the way, my opinion – the retro Vancouver Canucks jersey circa 1974 is the best designed sports uniform ever. Period. The ghost of Cesare Maniago are howling as I write…
Cheers,
Sean
