Social Media Han Solo advises you to be cautious looking at lists of Social Media Gurus that you “should be following”. This is nothing but an imbred asshatian technique that all of these self proclaimed social media experts use to lure unsuspecting Twitter folks into beefing up their own follower stats by having all of them band together and list each other repeatedly on other lists (putting one on your list will get you placed on their list…see how incestuous it is). Getting more followers helps them seem more important…get invites to speak at webinars/conferences…and write more ebooks and blogs that say absolutely nothing tangible or create anything original. Of course, the wannabe social media gurus and folks wanting to look cool by hoping to get one of these folks to mention their name in a tweet will blindly retweet anything these gurus send out which gives them credibility to the wannabe’s followers…who will then follow the SM Guru which inflates their stats by adding more followers…who then are exposed to these “lists” and will, in turn, follow more Gurus, etc.

This cycle will continue and snowball itself into one giant sized Hoth snow planet that spins so far out of control that one can only pray that Darth Vader will bring the Death Star over and fire the planet destroying Super-Laser to help rid the internet galaxy of this behavior. Oh wait…the Rebel Alliance blew up that Death Star already…and another one which was half finished…dang. Well, maybe the Empire can issue some more tax free bonds to help raise the capital to build another one. I figure that with all the new workers that would be needed to build it and jobs created to operate it…maybe they can qualify for a Federation Stimulus Package Loan. Just a thought.
