#CalledOut: @AsylumEnt presents #SocialMedia

Dude, someone just showed this to me ... it's from an entertainment, management crowd here in LA ... and I am sincerely at a loss for words ... 

What Is Social Media?

Facebook. Twitter. YouTube. These are examples of social media.  Online media where people are talking, participating, networking, bookmarking and submitting.  Sharing ideas, videos, photos, likes and dislikes. In short, social media is interactive dialogue using web-based technologies. It takes social interaction and moves it to the web using the hundreds of social networking websites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, MySpace, Flickr, Digg, StumbleUpon, Reddit, Del.icio.us, Google Buzz, Gowalla, Vimeo, Tumblr, Wordpress. It blends social interaction for the co-creation of value which extends to a global audience.  Social media shot to the fororefront because it’s fun. With almost 1 billion users between Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn, social media marketing should be a part of your marketing strategy.

Are you KIDDING ME!?!?!?!?! You're supposed to be an expert in social media (which btw none of the social media kids would EVVERRRR call ourselves an expert. It's just weird and a totally new medium), and THIS is how you describe it?? For REALS?!?!?!?! Dude, you don't even mention FourSquare which is FAR superior to Gowalla in popularity and general pop culture references. I just have no words ... this is so unbelievably tragic and the reason why I started this site instead of working for crowds like this who just don't "get it." I ain't hatin on you guys over there ... but come on, get it together or at least take the social media portion off of your website. It's doing a complete disservice to the medium and further perpetuating ignorance.

HOWEEVVEERRR, if you guys wanna vamp up the department totally hit me up on twitter, @JenFriel. I know a whole bunch of friends looking for work that are true social media geeks.
