I think it will depend on the author. I suspect it will be a combination of both, investigating the folly of others as a 'cautionary tale' whilst also providing positive tips where useful information can be provided. Good question Paul.

And these experts email you and you vet them? Are you going to parody the worst emails? So this is going to be a site for social media experts to help people use social media?

I do feel however that the people that don't have the talent won't stay around long, it doesn't compensate for having to wade through the masses to get to the quality though. Having said that I'm relatively new to twitter and I'm loving it- I presented about it at my business network and it generated a lot of interest so I'm doing a seminar on twitter next week. What i will be stressing at that is HOW to use online social media effectively- and that is about building meaningful relationships that actually mean something :) Thanks for writing this article "here here!" totally agree, it’s a great opportunity and unfortunately it’s encouraging some who otherwise wouldn’t even be noticed.

Most of these self appointed 'Social Media Experts' and 'SEO's' are poorly disguised Multi Level Marketing hacks trying to use Twitter etc to sucker nufties into paying for their new pyramid. I think it's time to use the twitterati 'block' manoeuvre... hehehe Thank fuck someone is saying it.
