Whatever keeps him off the interwebs is fine with me. I just pray that he never gets my email address.

Well, I guess this explains why Dave Morgan didn't feel compelled to respond to my "I Will Smack the Next Person That Calls Behavioral Targeting Creepy" post last week.

So long, and better luck in your next contradictory venture, guys.

Love your stuff; I wish the longer posts were broken up into 2-3 part series-type posts.

Why don't you just buy the Method almond floor stuff and a cheap mop instead. Your floors will look and smell better, and no waste.

Re: Burn the Ships! Should Social Media Specialists Jettison Their Backgrounds?

Adam Metz — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 10:06:55 -0000

I came to this "arena" (as small as it is) from an tech sales and education background. So far, I've either been a consultant or the only person in a service organization that handles social media. One of the biggest challenges that I've run into is that marketers (my client-side contacts) sometimes have trouble selling social media strategies "up the chain," i.e. within their organization. I give strategies to do this in "There Is No Secret Sauce."

As far as the whole 'burning the ships' notion goes, I believe that if the new "marketing" VPs don't have what it takes to simultaneously be the new "social media" (or whatever you want to call it) VPs, then they may find themselves looking for work within a few years.

You should send this post to that guy, or better yet, have his mom send it to him. What a douchebag.
