SMEG Awareness
Social Media Expert Gurus, known collectively as SMEGs, need your help. Thanks to excessive self education much of the SMEG’s natural habitat - Linkbaiting Blogs, Confused Companies and Buzz Word Filled Conferences - is under threat. Without your help this species may soon disappear from the Internet.
You can learn more about how to spot a SMEG, by reading their description on the urban dictionary.
The SMEG is closely related to those who actually work in social media, and it is believed that the two species shared a common ancestor as recently as 2006. However, while latter can be identified by the ability to back up their claims, real world knowledge and general non-wanker behaviour, the SMEG are openly hunted across message boards and Twitter, hounded for why they charge thousands of dollars to not actually do anything or their mumbled assertions of a trust economy.
The SMEG Awareness campaign hopes to raise money to construct reserves where the SMEG can roam free, creating their Top 10 lists and PointPoint presentations in peace.
So please add this Twibbon, styled in the traditional colours of the SMEG people (Facebook Navy, YouTube Red, and Twitter Blue) to your avatars, use the hashtag #SMEGAwareness, spread the word and encourage your followers to do there same.
Together we can hit the Like button on their future…
as long as we have a yearly cull to prevent the SMEGs from overrunning their reserves, I’m in.

Barry, I think the culling of the reserves is the most exciting part of this whole plan.
Warlach you are right this is the it. Without it will be like an empty egg.
What a great cause. This really needs some lame-stream media coverage to get the message out there.
