Come on it was fun! ;) Loved changing my title every week or two to screw with people. Yeah the sudden rush of "experts" and "consultants" were out of control and still are.... It's the agencies and marketing people that think they have a clue and sell it as such So I can’t use czar, juggernaut, god, all-star anymore? Come on it was fun! ;) Loved changing my title every week or two to screw with people.

I'm not a big fan of the "rock stars" moniker, and certainly don't pretend to be one. However, my recent speech to the Association of Management Consulting Firms used that title in an effort to grab attention from a group of high-level, old-school guys from companies like McKinsey and Deloitte. Taken literally, I concur. The whole thing is ridiculous. As a marketing device, it has its uses, and that's where I'm coming from. I go to pretty great lengths to not fall into the self-congratulatory pool, and I'll certainly take exception to the notion that nobody involved in the social media industry has done anything. There's a ton of exciting things happening, generating real revenue for real companies. I agree the hype meter is red lining, but to take shots at the whole category and say nothing has been done yet is incorrect. I agree, actually.
