Can you be an expert if you're not a doer? Minus the evil, of course. Do you need to know how to cook to tell if food tastes good? Wait! Are talking about Siskle and Ebert or Oliver Stone? If you're gonna be a critic, we'll respect you in the morning if you're also a creator. Debi masters the obvious. New media is new. There's more to evaluating a blog than reading one. What's the skill set for social media? Could you write a job description? The go to people have hybrid skillsets. Having a blog is the gateway drug to social media. Blog bias in social media. The invisible 45%. Which way did they go? When social media goes mobile it picks up speed. Speed kills. It kills control. Chevy Tahoe experiment. Expertise has shifted from time-based to knowledge-based. Who dies from eating Oreo cookies?
