Business needs more social media experts

Ron Bronson scores full points with his article dedicated to the need for more instead of fewer social media experts. Experts and not "hucksters trying to make a fast buck on the backs of unsuspecting people in the field." Be sure to read the entire article, We need more social media experts, as this is only an excerpt:
Social media expert, town crier, blogsmith or whatever your title de jour is…we need more of you. Because lots of folks are simply not aware of how fast the media is shifting and the flow of information traffic is going against the flow of those who are leading us. People want to stay plugged in and there are tools for that. Does it take time? Sure, it does. No such thing as a free lunch.

Hmm, experts? You mean specialists perhaps. Social media is so broad and our way in so diverse, few of us are experts.
Liked town crier though. I've been looking at competencies in social media (http://socialmediamafia.com) and reminted job titles generally http://flowingmotion.wordpress.com.
I wonder if town crier describes the work of http://olney100.ning.com. Must give this a think.
Nice to have found you.
