Social media is a slow motion water balloon to the face

. . . But my job ("buffer" or "bouncer" comes to mind) is to keep it from feeling that way.



Thanks to Jeff (aka Cap) for forwarding this.

Are you Bryan C, by any chance?

I'm thinking of the water balloon as a metaphor, but the visual thing makes it allegorious (that's so not a word).

I recently (today) determined that "buffer" and "bouncer" aren't the most accurate definitions of my job. I'm not here to "protect" anyone. As a matter of fact, working with social media is more like being a compass or a spotlight - something that can navigate through the vast digital landscape and help folks figure out what's up, what's down, what's wrong, what's right. Not when to run for cover.
