Week 2: Douchebags face enslaught of Goo.

Social media folks have used many titles to describe their prowess: Ninja, expert, assassin, strongman and mom. But its the Guru that comes up big. Or in our case, the Gooroo. Aaron Strout's squad wrangles the title away from Kevin Dreyfuss' Douchebags o Liberty after putting up an impressive 125 points against the Militant Pacifists.

The biggest jump of the week belongs to Ian Schafer's Augmented Brutality, moving up 6 spots in the power rankings and 4th in the league standings. The biggest fall goes to Ken Sigel's Sobchak's Rollers after a brutal loss to the Doucebags. Looking like a child who wanders in in the middle of a movie and wants to know...

Anyway, here are the week 2 power rankings with change in rank noted next to the team.

Social Media Fantasy Football

Last year, Dachis Group's Peter Kim got a bunch of social media gurus, ninjas, charlatans, and doplegangers together to exchange one kind of geekiness for another. After our inaugural fantasy football season, Peter and I discussed what improvements we'd want make to the league. First and foremost was to try to establish teams that were in it for the long(er) haul. So we're hoping to make this a keeper league where you can carry over one player per year. You'll forfeit the round you drafted him in, so it places an emphasis on value.

Among the returning and new players there's also a good mix of folks who work in different areas within social media including creative, advertising, consulting, user experience, strategy, marketing, etc. Consider this your official introduction to the league.
