This isn’t a new trick, but since it didn’t occur to me until just now I figured there’s a chance I’m not alone.

You know how much of a pain it is to add all of your Facebook friends to an event or page invite? Facebook seems to have done this on purpose, but nonetheless, all of my friends invite me to random stuff. Really, really random stuff.

Well, it was finally my turn to push all 969 of my facebook friends, regardless of their location, to the page for GigabitPhilly and suggest their fandom. Should be easy, shouldn’t it?

Well, if you drag this link => Annoy All Facebook Friends <= to your bookmarks bar and click it next time you’re on a screen that looks like this:

And it’ll select all of your friends, thusly:

Now, wasn’t that easy?

This is the internet. Welcome.

Shit moves way too fast for anyone to be an authority on anything long enough to be “expert”.

By the time you’re “expert”, the thing you’re expert in is no longer relevant. Deal with it.

We’re all students. Every single one of us. We’re students of each other, and students of the collective. That’s what’s magical and different about the internet; it’s not hierarchical.

Instead of a classroom where the teacher hands lessons down to the students, everyone is encouraged to be a teacher, sharing knowledge and experiences.

And everyone is encouraged to be a student, gaining knowledge and experiences.

Admittedly, in the “classroom” scene we’ve painted, I’m that pain in the ass kid in the back always questioning the teacher. But somebody needs to keep the teachers on their toes, and I hope that people are out there trying to keep me in check as well.

So, “social media experts”, I call your bluff.

There aren’t any social media experts, at least not yet.

And you (yes, you) certainly won’t be the first one.
