This post will probably help many of those hoping to work in careers with ties to social media that there's a stark difference between effectively being able to use social media for advertising/publicity campaigns, and being able to gauge social trends to determine what kinds of tactical usage/trends will become relevant for business success in the future.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15876745653764812049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063709171678249658.post-40850899827745186122012-05-29T00:17:17.087-07:002012-05-29T00:17:17.087-07:00I've been searching for jobs recently, and I&#...I've been searching for jobs recently, and I've encountered plenty of positions asking for social media experts. In fact, many of the interviews I have gone through ask how much social media I use. And while I think I'm fairly knowledgeable about social media, I feel like there is an entirely different aspect to social media that many "experts" are not completely aware of. There are many brands where having a Facebook fan page where users are freely allowed to interact with other fans simply does not work.Carmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466325556139982666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063709171678249658.post-72651962619133456742012-05-27T12:01:03.635-07:002012-05-27T12:01:03.635-07:00I think you raise some good questions about what i...I think you raise some good questions about what it means to be an "expert" on social media. In my own research, I've often focused on cases where so-called experts on digital practices have completely misread what they think they see, as in the case of the SonicJihad fan film. How can you connect this uncertainty about expertise more directly to the conversations that we have been having about digital journalism? And what should we be teaching in this class to improve social media literacy for these future careers?Liz Loshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17230805040911517976noreply@blogger.com
