Social media corporate disasters
BOOKMARK:This slideshow, charmingly entitled Social Media Screw-Ups – A History, should be essential viewing for anyone responsible for using blogs, Twitter or Facebook to communicate on behalf of their companies.
From problems with products that became widely talked about online, such as this exploding Dell laptop which led to a product recall, to companies that just didn’t get that they can’t fake social media, it is sobering reading for marketing people. http://slidesha.re/bb2SZU
