Hilarious Video About Social Media

This is a great video about social media. It’s funny and contains more truth than most social media gurus would care to admit.  Enjoy!

Favorite quotes:

“We’ve put social media on the tongues of some of the biggest companies in the world…without providing an actual service.”

“Social media eliminates the need to provide value to anyone.”

“We talked about how to leverage the Cheetos brand online. But, none of us had any original ideas. So, instead we gave them a Facebook page.”

“Using your brains to think of an idea and your skills to implement it…that’s the old model.  And, like anything that’s old and requires effort, that’s inefficient.”

“In the new social media economy, you just have to keep looking like you’re doing work – and people will pay you for it.”

Priceless…
