Great info Doug! Your comments underscore the "power of the pen" from a potentially negative and litigious perspective. I can only say that bloggers and Twitterers need to be responsible and accurate when they post. If this article doesn't illustrate that point, none will. .-= Steve Roye´s last blog ..Understanding Social Bookmarking =-.

I love it. Big business really need to get onboard with social media. It’s amazing how quickly things are changing. Just think about it a 140 character note stirs this kind of attention. Looks like the playing field is now almost level between corporations and consumers

This is a perfect example of the power of social media.

Offline companies might be wise to take a closer look before making rash decisions like this one apparently has.

I’m sure that they would have been much better off in this case if they had just left this alone.

I had also seen this story yesterday, but before it got this big, so yes, the power of social media can be an awesome thing as long as your not on the wrong side of it

Thanks for bringing this up

Ah, the power of Twitter strikes again. And I just think that there are still millions of people who do not even use Twitter yet. I am amazed that everyday I find someone who knows that I use Twitter and the same general question is asked, "what is this Twitter all about?" Around the corner, around the world, Twitter. .-= Andre Arnett´s last blog ..Niche Profit Classroom 2.0 $1 For 7 Day Trial =-.

Very true Doug!

Over the past few years with the instant dislike/like comments that customers/users can post about companies have started to change how businesses need to look at their customer support and their PR.

Within just hours a company can have a big problem on their hands if they are not careful to understand and deal with social web site comments about them.
