Chris Brogan is the Chuck Norris of Social Media
- 30 Lashings
- Dropped Dec 14th, 2008 by Ted Murphy in social media
My buddy Chris Brogan was the victim of an unwarranted Twitter attack this weekend and handled it like a rock star. I am by no means a stranger to controversy or personal attacks, it takes a special type of person to stay cool in that situation. Chris caught my attention when he tweeted “Remember: anyone can criticize. I cater to those who can teach.” When I clicked through in twitter search I had an epiphany. Holy crap… Chris Borgan is the Chuck Norris of social media…. he even looks like Chuck Norris.
Seriously!?! They could be twins.

That tweet “Remember: anyone can criticize. I cater to those who can teach” caught my eye too. Very wise words, from a very wise man.

Ted, you most definitely deserve a lashing, but first I have to recover from the death by laughter that was brought on by your Chris Brogan/Chuck Norris epiphany. Brilliant.
Oh my lord, that is hilarious… I bet Chris got quite a kick out of it… literally.
I never knew that Chris Brogan and Rosa Parks had a thing. Heh.
Awesome post! You are a creative super freak…lol
Kudos to Brogan
I think you are onto something. Not aware of the nature of the personal attacks but… HE DOES LOOK LIKE CHUCK NORRIS and your countdown was hilarious. Good way to start a Monday in my books.
Take care,
In 2009, people will no longer blog, they’ll Brogan instead.

You know when Twitter started having scalability problems? The day Chris Brogan joined.
Social media is prone to some ill effects sometimes, but it’s the nature of the beast. I’m glad Chris was bashed, but only because it inspired this hilarious list and made me like him even more. Plus, “there’s no such thing as bad press,” so I’m sure he’ll fare just fine. Thanks for the great list…and Chris, can you get MarketLeverage the ability to be paid for song downloading too?
LOL - well done Ted.
Taking a lashing for talking about K-Mart what would Martha think?Chris handled it well.

Chris Brogan’s tears cure computer viruses, too bad he never cries.
No matter how hard Chris Brogan tries to grow a full beard it always ends up looking like a goatee. Cause all of his facial hair gathers around his mouth just to hear what he has to say.
