Friday Fun: 5 Terms Social Media Douchebags Need To Stop Using

By jdupuis on July 30, 2010.

Yeah, last Friday I threatened a sequel and here it is.

Too much fun. And once again, looking in the mirror is a bit tough on this one. I did do a quick search on my blog posts and none of the offending phrases shows up per se. But, some seem a little too familiar.

  • "Monetize Your Social Media Presence"
  • "Social Media Rockstar"
  • "You're Doing It Wrong."
  • "Social Media Is All About ..."

(Once again, it's all Walt Crawford's fault. Blame him if this cuts a little too close to home. I know I do.)

I chose this one more for the humourous title of the post since the content itself is very seriously intentioned. I almost see this as a double sequel to both the social media evilness post and to some of my recent ramblings on thought leadership. The post in question is We Don't Need No Steenkin'…
