Social Media Club: Devils Advocate

Posted July 15th, 2008 by chrishambly

Apparently I have been nominated to be on the Social Media Club Interim Board.

I'm not really into begging for votes, or asking for the popularity contest cup, in fact I detest that. However, this might be a really good thing to be included in from a devil's advocate stance.

If you read my blog semi-regularly you'll know I am one of those who likes to probe and seek some proof and sense of balance, particularly in social media circles. Fact is I am not a fan of evangelising in any niche at all, I find that self-perpetuating nonsense to be very dangerous and lacking in critical analysis.

SO, if you think I'd bring a balanced view to this area and would be of use as a sobering force, please do go ahead and vote me in, I'd relish challenging some of the evangelists, balance is needed in order to bring about a strong group of thinkers, you always need balance.

Vote for Hambly

Thanks

Social Media Club interim is troubling

Would it be possible to speak this weekend? I'm still formulating thoughts from what I think has been a bizarre process - interim board, voting, publicity, etc.
While I congratulate you (a friend mentioned you are very deserving and will do stuff for SMC), I'd like to get your perspective and plans for next steps. I've been commenting on a couple of blogs (like Chris' original press release/Tech PR Gems and then the vote announcement post from Chris). Blogs and Twitter are OK for communication, but I like the phone and better yet face-to-face.
If you get some time tomorrow - 781-643-6960 - let's chat. I won't bite ;).
Cheers, Adam Zand

Hello adam

I'll more than likely post anything I do with SMC here on this Blog, so you'll get to see it.

I'll be honest I am a sceptic to SM as you'll tell from reading my posts, I feel balance is important, reality, honest opinions.

I also have little faith in large committees, I prefer top down structured management, so we will see what happens.

newsletters
