Does anyone else hate the term "Social Media Gurus"?

I am not doubting the effectiveness of social media and the importance of having someone knowledgeable to manage it. I was more referring to the term "guru" in and of itself.

To both Chris's There's no way 41 people will get #Indiana to trend into the top 10, but this little organized Twitter event is still an easy thing to do that has sparked some fun interactions. I highly doubt anyone will think less of Indiana becau…

Sage, yes. Sounds very wise and scholarly. Guru sounds like "goober."

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
