#32Aw, I love experts. They keep us in the right path with marketing campaigns, stock predictions, doomsday visions. They are just something, aren't they?

That's a fallacy. Vaynerchuk could really be part of that 0.5% of social media experts who actually know what they are talking about. Someone has got to and Vaynerchuk has a pretty good track record as an entrepreneur and business strategist.

#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
That last sentence was some kind of amazingly subtle, spot on, parody, right? This is a troll, right, this is you, trolling me? You didn't just seriously use the phrase "a revolutionary way to establish context with users", unironically. Right?
I don't think there was any need for that tone or the three questions. There is a local Chinese takeaway near me. Walking distant. Before, the only way they could communicate with me is through leaflets in the door. Now I can see their updates in my newsfeed. This _is_ revolutionary. Just because people abuse a phrase doesn't mean it is not relevant.
But surely now you're the sarcastic one!
If you two really believe that this stuff is revolutionary, I am embarrassed by how low the bar is for my generation.

#36If you look at it from the point that anyone who uses a social network, by virtue of ease of use is an expert, and only 5% of social network activity is effective for whatever purpose, then yes, Gary would be correct.
Unfortunately, I believe that the effective level is a lot lower than 5%, so Gary may be off somewhat in his clown assessment.

It wouldn't be a fallacy to say that since he is talking about his competition, he is not an unbiased source of opinions on the topic.

#40Every moron with a social networking account and a college degree markets themselves as a "social media expert" and I take anyone with that label about as seriously as I do anyone who calls themselves a "Tech Crunch journalist" (except, of course, at least Tech Crunch doesn't pretend to be journalism).
you can throw in as well web2.0 expert from the recent past, security experts, cloud experts, Big Data experts ... ie. current buzzword wave riders
