A person who knows how to use Photoshop isn't a designer, and a guy who knows how to glue PVC isn't a plumber. Owning a camera doesn't make one a photographer and using Twitter (no matter how good you may be at it) doesn't make you qualified as a brand rep or PR agent. At the end of the day, your problem solving skills, familiarity with the market and creativity are what will bring success. If the only qualification you have is knowing how to use the tools, you're missing all of the parts that bring value. <abbr><em>Josh’s last blog post..<a href="http://makeseriously.com/2009/03/ever-wonder-what-my-desk-looks-like/" rel="nofollow">Ever Wonder What My Desk Looks Like?</a></abbr></em> I more or less agree with the article, and find myself wondering how many SME’s actually have experience running campaigns rather than using tools.
