    Like the Japanese automobile, this is better! Fantastic, Andrea. I must give props to Beth Harte who wrote the 25 with me in a collaborative con call yesterday! This is awesome! I think I have to add it to the original post.

    Andrea, this is hysterically funny…thanks for the visual add-on. Your expressions say it all. I am going to add this to my blog too (I added it to my blog after Geoff and I wrote it).

    Happy holidays!

    “tags everything with 2.0″

    LOL… I see this DAY IN AND DAY OUT! Everything is 2.0 so it MUST be social media friendly, right?

    Great vid.

      “Everything is 2.0 so it MUST be social media friendly, right?” LOL!

      I think that the 2.0 concept is not dead at all… http://www.andreavascellari.com/?p=886 … but ‘social media experts’ use it way to often for way too many ‘things’ ;) I’m sure you know what I mean!

    There are no social media experts.. It’s moving in too many directions, too fast. What you need is someone that can read a map.

    Didn’t you get an iPod as a prize once..? ;)

      “There are no social media experts..” Agree… http://www.andreavascellari.com/?p=435

      No that wasn’t an iPhone, it was an iPod-touch! ;) Click here:

    That was so Web 2.0.

      LOL! Weeeell… you know… you gotta drop some web 2.0 tags in there otherwise people don’t get it right?! ;)

    No problem. Sometimes this year, Forrester will do a “wave” report to find out who the truly credible social media agencies are, and how they can help the world’s largest brands. stay tuned.

    • http://www.andreavascellari.com Andrea Vascellari

      Great! Can’t wait for it!

    Great stuff. Tactics vs strategy and gadgets vs conversations crack me up.

    • http://www.andreavascellari.com Andrea Vascellari

      Thanks!
      I had some more that came to my mind later…maybe I’ll record additional video ;)

    Hahahaha you are looking like you are having waaaaaaaaay too much fun, I was cracking up watching it.

    Would love some links included at end for newbies (or did G.L. add them on his post, I will check).

    GREAT JOB, unfortunately several came to mind as you listed the “dont’s”!

      @Copeland: This is a great one!
      + It goes also if you use DM (direct message) etc. ;)
