I tell people I’m an astronaut. Then they ask questions and I start talking like I’m sure you did to the webmistress–at which point I get a question like, “So you help businesses use Facebook?” to which I say, no, it’s more than that, they get the far-off glaze in their eyes, and I say, yeah, an astronaut.

Else, tell people you are a physicist and are on the verge of patenting a new element. They wouldn’t know any different. You can call the element socialmedianite.
