I Proclaim Myself the Stupidest Social-Media Expert EVER

September 25, 2009

If you’re planning a conference about social media, and you haven’t got me on the docket then you’re screwed. Because I’m friggin’ hot right now. I was tired of the endless parade of social-media articles… they were repetitive, annoying, and written by people that had no business as authorities on social media.

So, without saying much about my secret identity as a prolific YouTuber, I published “The Stupidest Article on Social Media Ever.” It’s been Tweeted about, read 3K times, and has landed on a variety of blogs including “Silicon Angle.”

Dear conference planner, I propose the following. I’ll get up at your next conference, and you list me as a “social media expert.” Then I’ll take on any of the personalities from this video… and just fall apart gradually. Begin with confidence, but then begin to fall apart. Thus spoofing the whole absurdity of “social media” hype.

OK, I think I might finally “get it”.

That article isn’t just random stupidity; it’s actually brilliant satire.

Kevin, it’s pretty hard to tell sometimes if you are being seriously goofy or goofily serious.

This is a great source of information :)

I just got a new macbook pro last week. The headphone plug and the keyboard back light are already broken. Boy are they going to be sorry for giving me a warranty.

4 Jenn - Wow. Exbabysitterofnalts seemed a little more appropriate than my actual name. September 25, 2009 at 4:31 pm

@3 Or. You could try rebooting it. :) Bah ha!

@3 You spent all my cash on a new macbook and you were supposed to buy me happy pills

finally social media catches up
my very first and still top ten favorite videos finds the best thing ever written.

It’s a good day – always go with your first and best instinct – let the monkeys loose!

I vote to send the chief technologist out on the road.

I’m sitting in one of those TGI Friday’s places, and everyone looks like they want to shove a shotgun in their mouth.

Oh Geeze! I just re-watched the Cubebreak video. Hahahaha! I had forgotten how funny you used to be! You were hilarious!!

9 Alexis Olson September 25, 2009 at 10:31 pm

@8 Yeah, me too. The Cubebreak video is one of my favorites. I love all the different personas he plays so well.

@8 Ohhh, so that’s who it is…I was just asking myself who that cute, little boy with the full head of hair was in that video? He even shows his stomach in that video…I didn’t see a tire around the waist either. Hmmm…as I have flashbacks to the video where he takes his shirt off in the restaurant bathroom for the CM dare. I thought he was about to go inner-tubing down a river or something.

Hey whatever happened to the Naltsgetsfit channel?

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! You know I love ya man…I’m just totally messin with you. Plus I’m about the size of a beached whale anyhow.

I beached in February. It was embarrassing! The internet is SOOOOOO fattening.

“Nalts Gets Fit.” He dropped THAT channel like a hot steaming turd.

@10 It is about time to start reminding Kevin about his Nalts Gets Fit channel again isn’t it?

Nalts, I would recommend trying the CrossFit thing for a few months (that is, if you think you are man enough). My dad does that and loves it (and he’s even older than you are).

I need to focus on eating better and doing more conditioning (I’m still rather weak and flabby after not working out for the whole summer).
How ’bout we have a contest to see who is more ripped by January 2010? Loser buys the winner a T-shirt or something. ;-)

Since I quit smoking on May 5th of this year, I’ve lost 29 pounds. Mostly from staying away from my fattening laptop.
