Is ‘Social Media Manager’ a silly job title?

Now it’s looking like the recession is over, I wonder if we are going to see the return of the flamboyant job title.
It’s a well-known fact that during austere times, the sillier or more self-deluding your job title is, the more likely you are to be made redundant.
Post-recession, the new boy on the marketing job title block is: ’social media manager’
But is this is a silly job title or not ?

Nice post,have to say though, I think it’s a great job title and can imagine it being used through large corporates to small PR agencies.
The Social Media Partnership has helped young people find full time work over the past year, placed in to organisations using this very title.
Many companies within the public sector though are referring to people in this social media role as citizen journalists, but I think this is an inaccurate description of what they do.
