From Social Media is Bullshit:

Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube are just platforms.  They’re not good or bad, useful or useless; however, we’ve allowed smug, greedy, well-fed white people to create a myth around them that says otherwise.  A myth that says all you need to do is use social media for your business and all your dreams will come true.  All the while, these companies and marketers pushing the myth are lining their pockets.
 
BJ Mendelson has contributed to The Huffington Post, Forbes, MTV's O Music Awards, and CNN.  He has been quoted by Newsweek, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Psychology Today, and SmartMoney magazine, has been a new-media director for a syndicated ABC television show, and has written a college survival column for CBS College Sports.
