    They're mostly trash.

    But I thought the same of "Information Architects" of the end of the 90ies. People that wanted in on the IT boom but didn't have much tangible to offer except a pretty distinct ability to bullshit. And a general knowledge of how people like themselves browsed pages.
    Didn't take long until it even got its junior and senior roles of doing something fulltime that was merely a minor part of my education. At the same compensation of those putting in far more, with far less bs, nonetheless.

    With time this role got a bit honed, the volume and their responsibilities wider, and these days I suppose I can appreciate their roles. And I suspect the same thing will sooner or later happen to the "social media experts" and their uncanny ability to regurgitate things they've cross-read online and their "research" into facebook pages.
